Thursday’s “Call for Hope” telethon for the Poverello House eclipsed its goal by raising $157,000.
ABC30 aired the telethon, which was hosted at the Granville Homes conference center at Herndon and Fruit avenues.
The funds will benefit the center’s operations and share the organization’s work in our community.
