PUNXSUTAWNEY — Residents of the Jefferson Street High Rise held their third-annual dance to benefit the Toys for Tots campaign Monday at the Jefferson Street Social Center.
Executive Director of the Jefferson County Housing Authority Sandy McGuire explained how important Toys for Tots is in the community.
“It’s not just for residents of the high rise,” she said, adding that admission to the event was one unwrapped toy. “We’ve also invited other organizations throughout Punxsy — including the Mahoning Towers — to participate.”
