Williamsport, Lycoming County-

Volunteers at the Williamsport YMCA are doing their part to help the Haitian earthquake victims.

In conjunction with the American Red Cross, they've set up a change drive outside the YMCA's Pickelner Arena.

The change will be collected and donated to the Red Cross' relief efforts. And volunteers say any amount of dollars or coins will be a big help.

Williamsport YMCA volunteer Lance Ricci said, "I just hope everybody gets down here to help us out. Help the victims in Haiti. It's been a terrible, terrible tragedy that happened down there and we want to help them out and get them back on their feet."

The change drive will continue Friday from 12-6 in front of the YMCA at 320 Elmira Street in Williamsport.
