With September as National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and in honor of late employee Mary Gosek, we are hosting our annual fundraising and awareness campaign. Throughout September, we'll be selling apparel to support Peaceful Remedies—a local organization founded by Gosek that aims to holistically improve the healing experiences of those with life-altering illnesses. A gathering and walk of remembrance will take place at noon on Tuesday, September 30.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in recognition, we are again hosting Pink Day. We'll be tabling with information and giveaways, selling apparel, hosting a Pink Day photo station for selfies, raffling off a pink Laker hockey jersey, and offering prize drawings for everyone donating at least $5 to support the cause.
Please check back in for more details!

Did you know almost 4,000 children in Oswego County, New York, struggle with food insecurity on the weekends? These kids eat meals at school during the week but need access to affordable, healthy food on Saturday and Sunday. That's where Blessings in a Backpack can help!
The Blessings in a Backpack program in Oswego provides food on the weekend for 425 children in Oswego who might otherwise go hungry. Students at Kingsford Park, Minetto, Charles E Riley, Granby, Fairgrieve, Fitzhugh Park, Volney, Frederick Leighton Elementary Schools, and Oswego High School receive food each Friday to take home.
Please join us in preventing weekend hunger by making a gift. As little as $150 will help provide well-balanced, nutritional food for a child every weekend of the school year.
Donations, November 1–30, online via our secure storefront
