Members of Herrin-area churches gathered for an end-of-summer Family Fun Day in Herrin City Park, and together raised $70,000 for Herrin House of Hope.

Scott Cody of Herrin Church of Christ said the proceeds will enable the cooperative ministry to purchase a building in downtown Herrin and hire an administrator.
