Community Action, Inc. (CAI) is participating in the Week of Giving, March 18th – 22nd through Bridge Builders Community Foundations (BBCF) at https://bbcfgives.org/. BBCF hosts the Week of Giving fundraising campaign and matches a portion of all donations, making YOUR donations go further! The minimum donation is $25 and donations are tax deductible. Receipts are automatically e-mailed to the address provided during the donation process.

The preferred method is on-line donations, but for those that prefer to write a check please contact Manette Setree, Community Services Director at (814) 938-3302, ext. 216 or [email protected] to ensure your donation is included in the campaign and counts towards BBCF’s matching funds (the check donation deadline is Thursday, March 21st by noon).

In Punxsutawney, the Punxsutawney Area Community Foundation (PACF) is hosting a kick-off mixer on Monday March 18th from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. and providing donation assistance during the Week of Giving, March 18th – 22nd from 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.at the Punxsutawney Memorial Library. Everyone is invited to stop in to learn about the various participating non-profits and how to make their donations on-line. CAI’s goal is to raise money to assist the vulnerable in our community and provide for new initiatives like educating youth and their parents on vocational training and the local job market.

Please share the Week of Giving information in person, via email, or social media to raise awareness for this event and encourage donations. Together, you and BBCF's Week of Giving can make a positive impact in our community!
