SCAC was the fortunate recipient of Bibbgy Coffee's September Giving Thursday event. 

Franchise owners Scott and Molli Bunch pledged 50 cents for every cup sold on Thursdays and generously provided space for customers to donate cash and food items. 

The total was nearly $900! 

Thank you Biggy and coffee drinkers! Don't drink coffee, check out their other offerings. The Bunches are committed to the community we are so grateful for.

Springboro High School's Cheer Team will host a food drive for SCAC at the Panther Madness event Friday, Nov. 11.

Thank you Shared Harvest for these incredible utility carts that will make our volunteers lives easier!

The State of Ohio offers multiple programs to help low-income residents keep the heat flowing in the winter months. 

The Home Energy Assistance Program offers a once-per-season benefit that is applied to heating bills. Applications can be made as early as July 1 before the winter season or as late as May 31 after the winter season. 

The Winter Crisis Program operates between Nov. 1 and March 31 every winter and helps residents whose heat is disconnected or who have a disconnect notice. 

The Percentage of Income Payment Plan allows qualifying residents to lower their utility bills to a percentage of their income. This program is available year round. 

To begin an application, visit energyhelp.ohio.gov. To learn more, visit our local Community Action Agency, Warren County Community Services at wccsi.org or call their appointment line at 513-970-6737.

Residents and staff at The Falls at Settler's Walk collected items for the SCAC over the summer. City Hope Church held a food drive in September as well. 

We also received generous donations from the Springboro Oktoberfest. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and enjoyed the weekend. 

We are also grateful to the Springboro Lions and the Eagles Club. Our community continues to amaze us!

You can help SCAC keep the food flowing in many different ways. If you shop at Kroger or Dorothy Lane Market, register your rewards cards so their Community Rewards and Good Neighbor Programs benefit SCAC.

These donations DO make a difference. Between May 1 and July 31, more than $700 made its way to SCAC thanks to 121 households who shop at Kroger with registered cards.

Go online to www.kroger.com or www.dorothylane.com or visit customer service. A percentage of your total will be donated to SCAC every time you shop.
