The 4th Annual Santa for Seniors Drive took place at SCI Mahanoy this December. Santa for Seniors is a program that was started in 2015 by Jackie Yanchulis, a clerk typist 2 at SCI Mahanoy, that helps the elderly at local nursing homes receive gifts for the holiday season because their family members are absent from their lives. Gifts such as blankets, socks, toiletries, crossword puzzle books, stationary items and more will be distributed to more than 100 people each season.

The 2019 Santa for Seniors drive were delivered by Jackie and Kim Minarchick, RNS at SCI Mahanoy (pictured), to Ridgeview HealthCare and Rehabilitation Center located in Shenandoah, PA, on Dec. 13. The gifts will be distributed to the residents at their annual Christmas party held on Dec. 20.
