The Farmington Area Goodfellows is a 501c3 public charity, and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by IRS regulations.

All collected items will be stored and assembled into baskets at a warehouse located at 37777 Interchange Drive, which opens the Monday after Thanksgiving. In 2018, more than 200 volunteers delivered holiday baskets to over 400 local children, 81 seniors, and 30 developmentally challenged adults.
