Proceeds from CPI’s annual Soup Stroll help ensure Cobleskill-Richmondville students have nutritious meals all year long.
Cobleskill Partnership Inc. (CPI) has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting the local community through its annual Soup Stroll fundraiser. Each year, CPI selects a local organization to receive a portion of the event’s proceeds and this year, the Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District’s Backpack Program was chosen as the recipient.
On October 6, CPI Vice President Bruce Tryon presented a $2,000 donation to the Backpack Program. The funds will go directly toward providing nutritious meals and snacks to students who may otherwise go without food over weekends and school breaks.
“I’m incredibly proud of the work CPI does each year through the Soup Stroll,” said Tryon. “When our board discussed where to direct this year’s proceeds, we unanimously selected the CRCS Backpack Program. We know how vital it is for students to have access to healthy food, and this program ensures that support reaches those who need it most.”
The CRCS Backpack Program is run entirely through donations and volunteer efforts, making contributions like this one essential to sustaining its mission. Thanks to CPI’s generosity and the ongoing support of the community, the program will continue helping students stay nourished, focused, and ready to learn.
