Video Shows What It's Like to be a Goodfellows Elf

Last year, scores of volunteers drove out to the Farmington Area Goodfellows warehouse for the annual distribution of the items local folks donated to benefit families and seniors in need in Farmington and Farmington Hills. 

The Goodfellows need your help with this year's distribution, which takes place Saturday from the warehouse at 37484 Interchange Drive in Farmington Hills, starting at 9 a.m. Our featured video gives you an idea what the experience is like, although this year's traffic plan is a little different.
