Sweet Way to Support Local
Shop sweet, give back! 25% of all proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to a local organization making an impact in our community. Every bite helps support something bigger.
Choose your favorite mini treats, submit your payment, and we’ll have everything ready for pickup at 107 Ivy Rd, 15905 on May 9 starting at 9 AM.
Once the fundraiser closes on May 3, I will announce the totals and we will present a check via social media so everyone who contributed can celebrate with us.
Cambria County Backback Project
Meet the Local Nonprofit
"The mission of the CCBP is to alleviate the burden of food insecurity and promote community well-being by providing children of Cambria County with healthy and sustainable food options on the weekends."
In 2013, the Johnstown Backpack Project was started by a handful of volunteers distributing weekend food to children attending the Greater Johnstown School District. As the program expanded to serve more children in more schools, the name was changed to the Cambria County Backpack Project.
Improvements to the program have included a nutritionally upgraded menu, healthy school snack pantries, Youth Café Markets, weekend food bags extended into the summer months, a second packing and distribution site established to serve our most rural communities, and becoming its own independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Today, the Cambria County Backpack Project serves over 800 children each school year, in 13 school districts and multiple partner agencies across the county.
