HOUTZDALE – Clearfield County’s Child Advocacy Center has received a donation from inmates at the State Correctional Institution at Houtzdale.
According to District Attorney William A. Shaw Jr., inmates participating in the Journey for Change (JFC) recently made a donation of child-friendly artwork and $1,500 to CAC-CC.
