Kiwanis is currently conducting raffles for a basket of cheer and a basket of toys in support of the effort, with tickets available for purchase at Wilderness Interiors on Main Street in Old Forge.

Sheila Brady, co-chair of the project, expressed her thanks for the many Kiwanis members who donated items for the raffle, Kinney Drugs, and to Lori and Tom of Wilderness Interiors for the use of their property to sell tickets.

“Each year our community expresses its holiday good will by providing over 100 families in the community with special Christmas gifts for the holiday,” Brady said.
