Bundled up in a coats on a cold rainy day, volunteers stood in front of the Wal-Mart selling Christmas luminaria kits Saturday to help the community raise $140,000 for the purchase of the former Pittsburgh Cut Flower property in Richland Township.

The toys are distributed through the Toys for Tots program.
Students from Pine-Richland High School gathered this weekend to collect toy donations for their annual Stuff-A-Bus event. This is the third year the school has participated. The bus was stationed outside Wal-Mart in Gibsonia to collect new toys from the community. The effort was headed by senior J. Alexandra Brachoki, who decided to take charge of the event because she had contributed in years past. “Our goal is to beat our record from last year, which is filling three-and-a-half school buses,” said Brachoki. “If we could even fill four, I’d be satisfied.” All of the items collected will be given to the Marine Toys for Tots organization, which is being fronted by the radio station 96.1 KISS. The items will then be distributed to local …
