In October of 2005 the North Penn Area United Fund was able to collect a total of $6268.00 from area residents and businesses. Ward Manufacturing generously matched the residential donations of $4180.00. That money was distributed to the Blossburg Fire Department, Blossburg Ambulance Assoc., Blossburg Library, Partners in Progress, N.P. Little League, Blossburg Salvation Army and Blossburg Recreation. Thank you everyone for your donation and assisting these organizations.
