Montgomery Local
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Even though most of us haven’t even started thinking about it yet, many in our community are already planning to make the upcoming holidays a wonderful memory for some very special children.
For the past three years, Montgomery’s American Legion Riders Post 251 have adopted a local child who is ill or in need of medical treatment or special equipment. The Riders provide gifts to the child and his or her siblings as well as monetary donations to the family. To make a donation, email pres@legionriders251.org for more info.
Another local holiday tradition is the delivery of toys and food to area families by the Montgomery Christmas Committee with the help and support of Montgomery and Clinton Township fire companies, Montgomery Emergency Management Agency, Montgomery School District and various volunteers. For more info, contact Dennis and Nancy Gruver at 570-547-6777.
In nearby Watsontown, the Annual Christmas Program that has been operating since the 1950s provides presents to needy children in the Warrior Run School District. If you know of a family in need this Christmas or would like to make a donation, please contact the Watsontown Police Department at 570-538-2773.
