A young boy smiles as volunteers deliver a Good Cheer basket to his Franklin home in 2021.
The annual Good Cheer Fund food distribution remains more important than ever.
Donations for next year’s distribution are lagging and organizers are asking for the community’s help to carry on the tradition. The distribution has been in place since 1921.
Donations are being accepted to support the Good Cheer Fund until the end of December. Donations can be mailed to the Daily Journal, P.O. Box 699, Franklin, IN 46131.
The Good Cheer Fund is an annual effort to pass out holiday food baskets to the needy throughout Johnson County. Baskets include a mix of canned foods and fresh items, such as a ham or chicken, eggs, milk and cheese.
