• Schuylkill-Carbon Marine Corps League ends Toys for Tots program in Carbon County (wnep.com) — Families in Coaldale and nearby Carbon County towns may feel a holiday pinch this year as the Schuylkill-Carbon Marine Corps League ends its Toys for Tots program in the county. Salvation Army's Angel Tree, which serves Coaldale children, expects higher demand and fewer donated gifts, so local families are urged to seek alternative assistance options early.
