Reindeer Gang: Middle Georgians in need and how you can help

The Reindeer Gang, The Telegraph's annual holiday feature about people and families in need, concluded Saturday. Here's a summary of the six stories featured in the last week, with information on where readers who can help may do so.

Myrtice Davis, 60, is helping raise her brother's children, ages 6 to 9, after their mother was jailed on a murder charge. Davis would like reading tutoring for the children, and they could use clothes, shoes and coats. A kitchen table with chairs and a clothes dryer would help Davis. Donations can be made through Campus Clubs, 2193 Vineville Ave., Macon, 31204. For information, call 742-7794 or email tcrudupcc@gmail.com.

Furniture -- beds, dressers and chairs -- would help Keyonna Little, 33, her husband, Larry, and the family's five children as they move into a new home after their rental caught fire while Little was at work. The family also has no car. Donations to the family can be made through Loaves and Fishes Ministry, 651 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Macon, 31201. For information, call 741-1007.
