The 2012 Farmington Area Goodfellows holiday operations concluded in early January. Our mission of: "No Child or Senior without a Christmas" was a huge success. The Goodfellows delivered 27,960 cans of food, lots of new toys and new books to help support our annual Holiday Assistance Program for families and seniors in need living in Farmington and Farmington Hills. Our collection boxes at both Farmington City Hall and downtown Farmington Public Library located on Liberty Street in Farmington, Farmington Hills City Hall and the Costick Center located on West Eleven Mile Road in Farmington Hills, and two Talmer Banks located on 33205 Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington and 37386 W. 12 Mile Road Farmington Hills were filled frequently. Other generous donations came from Dr. Jusino Orthordontics, Motor City Harley Davidson, Orchard 10 Market, Farmington Civic Theater, Farmington Public Schools, Sellers GMC, Professional Movers, Farmington DPW, Toys for Tots, FPS Battle of the Middles, Darren Frankel & Stuart Frankel Real Estate and many more.

Reminder: Our year-round collections boxes are at both City Halls, the Farmington Library (downtown Farmington branch).
