Families can have a personalized letter sent to their children from Santa at a cost of $5 with proceeds benefiting the Operation Santa Claus charity.
The letters feature a child's name, references to items they put on their Christmas wish list and a special "PS" from Santa.
The letter will arrive on custom Santa-themed stationary and envelope along with an official "Nice" certificate and a North Pole activity sheet.
Letters can be ordered online. They will be mailed on or before Dec. 14.
Proceeds Benefit Operation Santa Claus, a cooperative effort by Trib Total Media, Shop 'n Save and the Salvation Army to provide local families in need with all the ingredients for a nutritious and delicious holiday meal. Children in those families receive new or gently-used books.
Operation Santa Claus also is accepting donations to help families during the holidays.
Donations can be made online or by mail to: Operation Santa Claus, c/o Trib Total Media; 622 Cabin Hill Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601.
RADON DETECTORS AVAILABLE FOR LOAN
Northland Public Library in McCandless is offering Airthings radon detectors for checkout thanks to a generous donation.
Radon detectors can tell when harmful radon gas is in the air of a home or building. The new detectors available at the library are easy to use and only need about seven days in a building to provide an accurate reading.
To check out a radon detector, stop at the Computer Center desk on the upper level of the library.
The units were donated by Jeremy and Stacey Shaffer and dedicated to people who have lost their lives to lung cancer.
