On Saturday, Falls Presbyterian Church hosted the fifth annual Breakfast With Santa event in East Falls.
The morning event offered a chance for children to take a photo with Santa Claus, make crafts and, for the first time, shop for a “secret present” for parents. Pancakes and juice were provided by the Bakers Centre ShopRite at Fox Street with donuts being donated by Trolley Car Café.
Along with a used-toy sale, donations went toward the Inn Yark Park playground and new toys were collected for “sick children at CHOP.”
