I want to be a "secret santa" and send a gift card to a family in need who lives in Tobyhanna. Is there a Target or any major grocery stores, etc.

Thanks.

What a thoughtful, wonderful, selfless idea! This reminds me of my old job at the local Redner's Grocery Store, where I had one customer come into my line one time and purchase $500 worth of gift cards to leave anonymously on the front porch of his next-door neighbors, who were desperately in need of help! I was touched by his chivalry, as I am with you as well!

To answer your question, Tobyhanna is about a half-hour or so south of Scranton's shopping areas, where there's a Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Sam's Club, Wegman's, Gander Mountain, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Just five minutes from Tobyhanna is a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Mount Pocono, as well as Bill's Shur Save Supermarket. About 25 minutes to the south of Tobyhanna is the Stroudsburg area, with another Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Home Depot, and an upcoming Lowe's. Tobyhanna itself has very little in the way of businesses; it's mostly just a bunch of residential areas and the army depot.

I'd go with the Wal-Mart Supercenter gift card if you'd think they'd use it, as it's only five minutes away from them. The other two major chain areas are both around a half-hour, give or take, from Tobyhanna, so you'd have to be sure that they'd be willing to drive that far to use them.

Have a blessed night for being such an angel!

Thank you, Paul, for your suggestions. Think I'll go with Wal-Mart Super Center. Living in So. Calif., I don't quite know the PA area

There's two phrases I live by:

"Pay It Forward" and ..........

"When you're down to nothing, God is up to something".

Merry Christmas to all.
