St. Jerome group collects toys, donations

The St Jerome Elementary School Youth Group in Tamaqua donated and wrapped many new-toys and other donations to ACCESS services via their Teens Helping Teens program. The youth group raised almost $3,800 in donations for this year's drive via their BINGO and other community fundraisers. Their donation drive benefited 53 clients and children of ACCESS services that filled out "Angel Tree" cards requesting items varying from musical instruments, video games, bikes, clothes, and toys. This is the fifth year the youth group has raised new-toy donations for ACCESS services.
