CLEARFIELD – Central Pennsylvania Community Action (CPCA) has announced its selection as the recipient of $2,000 from the Son’s of Italy (SOI). Charitable giving and volunteerism are an important part of the SOI’s commitment to its communities.
CPCA will use the funding to supplement its local food pantries that are facing the largest shortages and to be used to purchase items that will be given to area recipients.

In 2012, CPCA served more than 16,000 unduplicated individuals through its vast array of services.
