Lily Kroll, president of the Ladysmith Health Auxiliary, presents about 60 pounds of coins to Dennis Lait, the executive director of the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association, for the Christmas Cheer Fund. The auxiliary raised the money by collecting change from Thrift Shop customers. This year, the Christmas Cheer Fund delivered hampers to 167 individuals or families. The community donated about $19,000 in cash to the fund this winter.
