CAN DO Student Action Committee seeks donations for local military members
The CAN DO Student Action Committee is seeking donations for an annual drive that sends items to military service members stationed overseas.
Committee members kicked off the 11th annual “Operation: CAN DO” campaign earlier this month when they sent letters to area schools and businesses requesting goods or monetary donations. The students will use the items to create care packages to send to servicemen and servicewomen with ties to the Hazleton area who will be stationed abroad for the holidays.
