Sharp Shopper in Belleville and the Milroy Deli located at 27 South Main street Milroy, PA will be joining efforts with the Church Hill United
Methodist Church to be a collection site for Santa’s Workshop to benefit
children in our greater community ages 12 and under. The goal is for children
to be given play money to shop for their parents/guardians and families for Christmas
free of charge. Not only will this illustrate to the children making the
purchases that it is “greater to give than to receive” but by shopping children
will learn the value of shopping wisely. If you would like to make a
contribution to this outreach you can simply bring your items (New or gently
used) to Sharp shopper and place them in the bin inside the store from now
until December 12.

 Suggested items can include but not limited
to:

Clothing:
pants, shirts, socks, sleep wear, hats, gloves, coats, toys, board games, craft
items, jewelry, nick-nacks, small appliances: crock pots, toasters, hair
dryers, curling irons, shavers. Candles, men and women toiletry, handmade
personal items, hunting gear, work gloves,  wrapped candy, Christmas ornaments, and
anything else be creative!!  PLEASE NO
