The Woman’s Clubs of Merchantville would like to thank the many people and organizations that helped make the 2014 “Operation Santa” a huge success. Thanks goes to the Pennsauken Lions Club, Betsy McBride, the Moss Family, Maple Collision, Stephenson-Brown Funeral Home, Macaro’s Catering, H&H Deli, Meadowbrook Food Market, and Aunt Charlotte’s Candies, as well as members of the local community who made donations. Woman’s Club members donated their time and money as they shopped for 40 children in 11 families, purchasing over 100 gifts. The Dollar General Store on Haddonfield Rd. also donated toys and Discount Harry’s on Rt. 130 gave shoppers a discount.
