C&N Employees Raise Over $85,000 for Local Children & Youth Programs

WELLSBORO, PA – C&N’s Giving Back, Giving Together program, raised $85,300 to support underprivileged children in our area have access to food clothing and shelter. In addition to the monetary donations, C&N teammates collected 4,646 necessity items and volunteered 32.5 hours at our local children & youth organizations.

Underprivileged children are another demographic that was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The closing of schools combined with the high cost of childcare forced many parents to give up their jobs and income to care for their kids. This also increased food insecurity by reducing children's access to free or reduced lunches at school. A survey by the CBPP shows that around 7 to 11 million children lived in households where kids didn’t get enough food because their families couldn’t afford it.

In June 2021, C&N teams partnered with 23 local children & youth programs to collecting monetary donations through a variety of online platforms and hosting different fundraisers bringing in over $85,000. In addition to these efforts, C&N also hosted their annual Charity Classic golf tournament, which brought in a record $25,000 and connected with local businesses partners to join the cause. 15 responded, bringing in an additional $4,500.

In June 2022, C&N team members turned their focus to support local emergency services. While many of these organizations get state and local funding, it usually isn’t enough to cover the extensive training needed along with the expensive equipment. This is causing many of these fire and ambulance companies to shut down and puts a greater burden on the ones struggling to stay afloat. This year, C&N employees voted to make Giving Back, Giving Together cause for the next 12 months, taking on fundraising for our local emergency services, with a goal of raising $100,000 to support 34 local volunteer emergency, fire and ambulance services.
