PITTSTON, Pa. — A church in Luzerne County wants to make sure that no kids go without presents this Christmas.
St. Joseph Marello Parish in Pittston partnered with the greater Pittston Santa squad this holiday season.
A toy collection drop-off was held at the parish from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Along with collecting toys, there was also hot chocolate and a Christmas tree lighting to help get people into the holiday spirit.
"People are coming out. They're excited that we're involved because you hear so much about them but never really connected with us. So everybody's excited that we're involved in that they could be involved with us. So it's been good to see," said Brandon Jopling with St. Joseph Morello Parish.
If you missed Sunday's toy collection, there will be another on December 11 at "Pizza Lovin" in Exeter from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
