Last night, volunteers went door-to-door and collected over $40,000 in cash donations, $3,500 more than last year.
More than 100 banana boxes full of toys and food were also donated to the "No Child Without A Christmas" campaign.
The money will be used to purchase toys and food that will be distributed in their Christmas baskets.
