The Adopt-An-Angel Program of Lackawanna County's Children & Youth Services (CYS) needs the community's help in order to grant area youngsters' their Christmas wishes.
There are over 100 children still left without sponsors for the holiday season. The program provides assistance to children ranging in age from birth to 21 years old.
CYS staff asks that individuals or groups spend about $100 per child when working off a youngster's wish list. Aside from the unwrapped gift(s), the program also accepts monetary donations or gift cards.
To participate in this long-standing tradition, please contact Gloria Liuzzo at 570-963-6781, ext. 1301, or Lisa Sohara at 570-963-6781, ext. 1188. They will be able to provide the program's guidelines and the range of children to "adopt" in an effort to make their season bright.
