896 children from 609 families living in Carbon and Eastern Schuylkill counties received toys during the Schuylkill Carbon Marine Corps League’s annual Toys For Tots distribution held yesterday at the Salem Bible Fellowship Church in Lehighton. In addition, approximately 450 families received holiday hams via the Tamaqua Salvation Army.
This was part two of the distribution. The first was held Thursday at the Tamaqua Salvation Army during their Angel Tree, Toys For Tots and Angel Tree distribution, which benefited 400 children and 400 households.
Toys For Tots coördinator Cheryl Laub stated the league’s appreciation for all who supported the campaign or volunteered.
