Bellefonte Plays Santa

Every year the Unit 33 American Legion Auxiliary finds a family in need and supplies EVERYTHING they need for a great Christmas.

 This year we learned of a family of 6 with four kids.  The mther has been sick and unable to work.  The father was recently unemployed.

The Auxiliary along with the patrons of Club 33 Bellefonte decided they would help this family ion need.  A complete Christmas dinner was provided along with bags and bags of food, grocery gift cards, and a heating oil gift card. EACH child received 25 presents from “Santa.” Of course mom and dad weren’t forgotten. It made Bellefonte’s Christmas as complete as they made the families.
