• Merry Christmas Fund climbs. Big week ahead. (delcotimes.com) — Springfield residents are helping push the 2025 Merry Christmas Fund past $20,000, with local donors like Patricia McCullough and the Lions Club of Springfield contributing generous gifts. Their support, alongside neighbors across Delaware County, will fund Salvation Army food baskets and toys for area families this Christmas, and readers can still add their own dedications with new donations.
