Langeman Manufacturing is once again kicking off the holiday season by helping those in need within the community and around the world. They have partnered with the Leamington Goodfellows to become a drop-off depot for canned goods donations that will be included in this year’s Christmas hampers distributed to area families.

In addition to accepting canned goods on behalf of the Goodfellows, Langeman Manufacturing will donate $1 for every can received to help locally and globally through two non-profit organizations. Half of the funds will benefit the Goodfellows campaign, with the other half being donated to Samaritan’s Purse International Relief.

In its inaugural year over 200 cans were donated and they are hoping to double those totals during the 2011 campaign.

Area residents are invited to drop off their canned goods at Langeman Manufacturing, 56 Oak Street East, Leamington, between 9am and 4pm Monday through Friday. Donations will be received until Friday, December 9.
