Supporting Scholars Raise Funds For Mom’s House, Inc.

Members of Pennsylvania Highlands Community College’s Supporting Scholars recently hosted a St. Patrick’s Day bake sale, with all proceeds going to Mom’s House, Inc. of Johnstown.

This two-day event raised over $375 to support the operational needs of Mom’s House.

“The Supporting Scholars look forward to this spring service project each year and truly value the opportunity to give back to the community,” stated Nikki Wright, Supporting Scholars Chair. “Supporting Mom’s House Inc. is especially meaningful. It allows them to make a positive difference in the lives of local families, while strengthening their connection to the community.”

Mom’s House, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides safe, secure, and completely free childcare to single and abused parents wishing to continue their education or job training.

Since its establishment in 2009, Mom’s House, Inc. of Johnstown has achieved a STARS 4 rating from Pennsylvania’s Keystone STARS program, which serves as a benchmark for quality in early childhood education. In 2021, the organization was honored with accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

Supporting Scholars at Penn Highlands Community College complete multiple service projects per year, which have included a clothing drive for the Cambria County Clothing Boutique and a Pink Out event to benefit the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center.
