Pennsylvania College of Technology’s United Campus Ministry and Cheer Team recently teamed up for their spring semester fundraiser and donated all of their profits to a local nonprofit, Family Promise of Lycoming County.

UCM and the Cheer Team sold 16 boxes (96 bars) of chocolate and donated $800 in goods and necessities to Family Promise, a homeless ministry. The organization helps homeless families, as well as those who are on the verge of becoming homeless.

Samir K. Pringle, president of UCM, said, “After hearing their mission and purpose, we all decided to fundraise for Family Promise.”
