Propst’s love of Christmas inspires holiday project

Pam Propst saw a need in her community and wanted to help.


Propst asked on Facebook if any residents in Broadlands would want to help provide clothes, gifts or coats for children in the community this holiday season and the response was overwhelming.


“I am a person that loves Christmas,” Propst said. “I understand the struggle this year from people not working because of COVID.”


Propst said most of the donations have been clothing and coats.


“Broadlands has been wonderful,” she said.


Those willing to donate should contact Propst on Facebook and she will provide them with a child age and sizes or toys that have been requested.
