Santa Basket Christmas Service Project

Carrying on a Christmas tradition started by John Altadonna and the Wolf's Denn Restaurant in 1993, Keystone SMILES CLC continues helping families in Clarion and Venango Counties in the holiday season. Through a letter writing campaign, local businesses and service organizations donate funds to help purchase all the fixin's for a complete holiday dinner and breakfast.
