DULUTH - Shoppers that spend an extra dollar at Super Ones Foods by Dec. 12 can help make a difference for local families.
Proceeds from the house-shaped ornaments will go directly towards the Solvay Hospice House.
The campaign has been able to raise $21,000 over the past four years.
Organizers said the funds help families during the end of loved–one's lives.
"It really allows family members to be family members," Traci Marciniak from the Miller-Dwan Foundation said. "It really takes away their need to be the caregiver and really allows them to be the wife, the mother, the daughter the son or whoever it happens to be."
The fundraiser is going on at Super Ones Foods in the Twin Ports, Hibbing and Cloquet.
