Thank You for an Incredible Community Holiday Haul

$27,504 raised & 24,446 pounds donated

The Community Holiday Haul has officially concluded, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who made it such a tremendous success. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, volunteers, partners, and supporters, we are proud to share that we surpassed our fundraising goal, raising $27,504 to support St. Susan Center’s mission.

In addition to financial contributions, our community donated an incredible 24,446 pounds (12.25 tons) of non-perishable food. These donations will help provide meals and essential support to neighbors in need throughout the holiday season and all year long.

From the first can to the final cent, this effort was a true community achievement. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to step up made a real and lasting impact.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dan Keefe, St. Susan Center Board Member and Holiday Haul organizer, for braving the cold, wind, rain, sleet — and even a little sun — to make this week possible. Your dedication embodies the spirit of this effort.

And to everyone who donated, volunteered, shared our message, and braved the elements to make this week possible — thank you. Together, we are making a difference for individuals and families served by St. Susan Center.

New This Year

The Cummins-United Way sponsored “Forever Rising” truck collected donations during the Jamestown Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 6. All parade contributions were added to this year’s Holiday Haul totals.

Thank You to the Cummins Holiday Haul Committee

This year’s Holiday Haul is supported by a dedicated team of Cummins employees who organize, promote, and staff the event: Jen Lundmark, Dan Keefe, Deb Jordano, Brandie Sischo, Melissa Hagberg, Melissa Pollino, Nathan Montaygne, Starr Ryder, and Brandon Chase. Their commitment—and the “Forever Rising” truck—helps make this community tradition possible.

Thank you for helping support St. Susan Center this holiday season.
