Group aiding truckers extends fundraising effort

The St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund is extending its High $5 fundraising campaign through the end of May.

The campaign was originally a three-day effort running May 6-8. The campaign’s goal is to recruit recurring monthly donors by encouraging individuals to pledge a repeating donation of even just $5. The St. Christopher Fund seeks to recruit 100 new monthly donors.

Ten new recurring donors signed up during the original three-day campaign. Donations can be made through the fund’s website.

“Every dollar from those recurring donors is going to make a difference in somebody’s life,” said Shannon Courier, the fund’s director of philanthropy and development.
