Last week, 30 of our high school students gave back to the community by volunteering at the Shamokin Salvation Army. They helped count kettles, unload toy and food deliveries, pack items, and organize toy bags for distribution.

Thanks to their hard work and dedication, hundreds of families will enjoy a brighter Christmas with presents under their trees and food on their tables. We are incredibly grateful for their efforts in lightening the Salvation Army’s workload during this busy season. Not only did they accomplish a tremendous amount, but they did so with enthusiasm and positivity.

The Salvation Army extends its thanks to SCA High School for the opportunity to work with such amazing young people. 🎁
