Beth Benjamin, first-year Goodfellows Board member and the Public School District’s (OPS) counseling director, said that Goodfellows is always available to help out students during the school year.
In keeping with the nonprofit's mission, "No Kiddie Without a Christmas," the Detroit Goodfellows, alongside Detroit city leaders, are handing out more than 26,000 gift boxes to families in need.
Through Goodfellows, kids receive gifts on Christmas and clothing necessities and milk throughout the year. Goodfellows money also helps to purchase school supplies. Today’s drive total is $8,275.
