Delivery day: Cheer Fund prepares to deliver gift boxes to local families
Saturday’s distribution of Christmas boxes to more than 1,000 local children from the Columbus Firemen’s Cheer Fund will look a little different than past years.
It will be the first time that the new permanent Cheer Fund headquarters, located north of the Evolution Training Center, 2670 Verhulst St., will be used for deliveries.
Cheer Fund volunteers rely on community residents to help them with deliveries, and that will continue, with precautions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Signs will be posted along both Middle Road and Andrews Street in the Columbus Air Park to direct drivers to where they need to be when deliveries begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, said Cheer Fund co-chairman Ben Noblitt.
