CRESSON, CAMBRIA COUNTY--- All Saints Catholic students' in Cresson are hard at work to make sure service members overseas get a little taste of home.

"This is the biggest deployment so we have to get out the most packages," said Ashley Durbin who is in 8th grade.

The students every year for the last 12 years have raised money to buy personal items and ship care packages to local men and women who serve, it's called Project Smile.

"It is a big honor to do this for the troops," said Durbin.  "I know it helps them and we like to do this."

"I like how it makes the soldiers feel like they're at home and we're sending them love from family and friends," said Emily King.

The students are trying to send the packages to the troops in time for Easter for information on how to help call 814-886-7942.
