JOHNSTOWN -- Members of Pennsylvania Highlands Community College's Supporting Scholars recently completed their second Spring Service Project by collecting and giving donations to Mom's House, Inc. of Johnstown.
During April, the group collected donations from churches, friends, families and their communities, as well as hosting a bake sale that raised more than $360 to purchase additional items for the organization.
In total, the Scholars donated more than 200 items, including diaper wipes, juice boxes and more.
Mom's House Inc. provides safe, secure and completely free childcare to single and abused parents wishing to continue their education or job training.
Somerset Trust donates to EITC
JOHNSTOWN -- The Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation was presented with a check for $20,000 from Somerset Trust Company, with the donation intended to bolster the college's Educational Income Tax Credit (EITC) fund.
The donation will enable the bank (based in Somerset), as well as other institutions, to support educational causes offered by the college. With Penn Highlands also applying for and maintaining its EITC status, the donation will help the college offer classes at a reduced price for its Accelerated College Education (ACE) Program/dual enrollment students.
EITC provides high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses, earn credits and explore what Penn Highlands has to offer for their future.
