Houtzdale Employees Participate in Christmas Program for Children

The Philipsburg YMCA Christmas program provides gifts for children.

SCI Houtzdale, along with several area businesses and organizations, volunteers play Santa for these children to get the requested items on their Christmas lists.

The Christmas program covers Clearfield and Centre Counties, including Philipsburg, Osceola, West Branch and Moshannon Valley school districts.

A week prior to Christmas, the families get to stop by and pick up their gifts for their children so they can be under the tree in time for Christmas.

The staff at Houtzdale graciously took 50 children's names to provide them with a special Christmas. They planned a wrapping/pizza party to ensure all gifts were accounted for and wrapped nicely for them. As in years past, the staff were generous with the number of gifts they purchased for these children.
