UPDATE: The St. David’s Society of Wyoming Valley has made a significant contribution of $5,000 to the Valley Santa holiday gift program, ensuring that local families in need will receive gifts this festive season. This generous donation comes as the community prepares for the holidays, highlighting the ongoing commitment of local organizations to support those in need.
The donation was confirmed earlier today, with key members of the society present for the announcement, including Nancy Johnson, Tony Brooks (former President of St. David’s), Joy Ondrea (current President), Attorney Sarah Borland, and Diane Johnson. Their collective efforts underscore the importance of community involvement during this critical time of year.
This year, the Valley Santa program aims to assist hundreds of families in the Wyoming Valley, providing holiday gifts to children who may otherwise go without. The funds will directly impact the program’s capacity to deliver joy and support to local households, making a real difference in the lives of many.
Why This Matters Now: As the holiday season approaches, the need for community support is more urgent than ever. The St. David’s Society’s donation not only provides financial assistance but also serves as a call to action for others in the community to contribute to local initiatives.
Looking ahead, officials from the Valley Santa program are gearing up for their distribution efforts, which will take place in mid-December. Community members are encouraged to get involved, whether through donations or volunteering, to help ensure a joyful holiday season for all families in the area.
This heartfelt initiative exemplifies the spirit of giving that defines the holiday season in Wyoming Valley. For those wishing to contribute, further information can be found on the Valley Santa program’s official website.
Stay tuned for more updates on local charitable efforts as the holiday season progresses.
