Toy Distribution - Volunteers Needed!

The University of Scranton is assisting Catholic Social Services (CSS) & Friends of the Poor (FOP) with their annual "Gifts for Kids" toy distribution process and looking for volunteers. This year as in the past, the distribution will be held inside the Byron Center. This special holiday program serves families in need right here in our own backyard and this year CSS and FOP be providing toys for about 2,000 local children. Many of you were able to help out in the past and we're hoping you may have the time to help out again this year.

We have a truck from the Times that will pick up the toys from the Marine's Headquarters in Pittston and we'll be picking up toys from a number of local churches on Sunday as well. We'll need help setting up the tables and unloading these trucks from noon to 4:00 p.m.
