Since 1996, employees at SCI Coal Township have participated in the program organized by volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to collecting and distributing the Christmas gifts to children.

Prison Human Resource Assistant Grace Piaseczny (pictured) coordinated the event for the prison every year since 1996. In 2017, Clerk Typist Cathy Dapra took the lead from her sister to organize the event at SCI Coal Township. Grace said, "SCI Coal Township employees are good, kind-hearted, people. We could not accomplish this without them. Cathy and I thank them tremendously!"

Special thanks were extended to Coal Motor Crue, an employee motorcycle club, for its generous monetary donation which will also be presented to Northumberland County C & Y to purchase additional items that are needed for the families of Northumberland County at Christmastime.
