Students Collect Items for Moon Township Troops Serving Overseas
Help Moon Township-area military members deployed in Afghanistan.
Moon Area High School and Sewickley Academy students are collecting items to be sent to local military members deployed in Afghanistan.
Moon student John Bal and Sewickley Academy student Jack Matten are soliciting donations for care packages, which will be shipped to Moon Township's 303rd Army Reserve Unit, based at McGarity Reserve Center off University Boulevard.
The students hope to gather toiletries and basic comfort items for the unit. In addition, they seek to raise $1,000 to pay for shipping costs.
