To the Editor:

Every year at one of the town's parks they should have a fundraiser to donate money, food, toys, blankets, and clothes to people in need of them.

They should do this because it is for charity and a very good cause.  At this donation, we could sell Girl Scout cookies, baked goods, and other items.

We think this would be a good idea because we're helping people and having fun.  We hope this will become a yearly event to help people in need and to improve our community.
