Abigail King and mother Nichole depart with volunteers from Goodfellows delivering gifts to 992 underprivileged children in DeKalb and Sycamore. The volunteer organization has been serving children in need since the 1930s according to board member Gerry Keating. Local schools and agencies share families with children in need of practical gifts. Volunteers collect donations, wrap and deliver gifts to recipients. Mary Beth Nolan for Shaw Media
