The need goes on after the Great Holiday Food Drive

Once again, Niagara residents opened their hearts and wallets and made it a record-breaking year.

The grand total of cash and donations is $272,000.

Community Care of St Catharines and Thorold CEO Betty Lou Souter says "it's absolutely amazing."

But she says they are still taking donations to make sure all families in the community receive the help they need.

You can still text to give at 2-0-2-2-2.

Or you can drop off a donation at Community Care next week.
