Help right here at home

We've written about this before, but it's happened again. Monday's mail brought a letter from a charity seeking money for a "Berkeley Springs Area" fund drive. The money was to be sent to a Washington, D. C. address. The charity may be legit, but, quite obviously, the connection to "Berkeley Springs" is mislabelled.

Look through the paper and around the community this holiday season, and you'll see many ways to give and help right here at home. Next week's editorial will suggest a few good local causes. You needn't send your charity dollars out of town.
