Voluntary Action Center to benefit from Happy Hour tonight at Bistocchi's

A Happy Hour at Bistocchi’s Restaurant tonight, Monday, Nov. 16, will  benefit the Christmas Holiday Bureau, a program of the Voluntary Action Center.

 Join Celebrity Bartenders Laurie Cadden, Michael Kelly, Nancy Kman, Linda Keene, Elaine Shepard, Carol Chisdak and Mary Ellen Kohler at the restaurant, 1120 Wheeler Avenue, Dunmore from 5 to 7 p.m.

Poinsettia drinks, 50/50 raffles and more will be available.

  All tips at the bar and 10% of  total dinner bills will benefit the Christmas Holiday Bureau, which has been helping families for over 50 years during the holiday.

According to its web site, the Christmas Holiday Bureau is a program that was established in 1950 to provide limited financial assistance to low income individuals and families in Lackawanna County during the Holiday Season. Through gift cards, eligible recipients can purchase clothing, food, or toys to help make the holiday season special to them. Donations of $1 and above are received from individuals, businesses, organizations, faith based organizations, and schools to help provide assistance to over 3,000 individuals each year. Volunteers play an important role by helping to schedule appointments, interview recipients and process the gift.
