Virgil L. Howard Funeral Home - 'Boys and their toys'

Boys and their toys!!!  

     Kevin and Patty Dusenbury and “The Boys” of the Virgil L. Howard Funeral Home, Shinglehouse, announce that the Gift of Memory Program, which benefits Potter County’s Christmas House, is now underway for the 24th year!!  Through Dusenbury’s business, local residents can contribute presents in memory of their deceased loved ones to the Christmas House, which distributes gifts to over 1,200 Potter County children and elderly during the holidays.  In the past 23 years, gifts too numerous to count were collected at the funeral home and presented to the Christmas House for distribution to needy families.  Those wishing to make donations of new, unwrapped toys or gifts can call Dusenbury at 814-697-6570.

     We are starting our program early to be able to have distribution to the recipients as early as possible.  Donations will be collected until Friday, December 6, 2024.

Pictured are “The Boys, Charlie and Cooper”, with a few of their toys.  They are hoping that the less fortunate children of Potter County, through the Christmas House, will receive gifts from the many generous donors who support this program.
