“Cents for St. Susan’s” Campaign Kick Off Held (May 2, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities<\/strong> 24th annual \u201c\u20b5ents for St. Susan\u2019s<\/strong>\u201d campaign is now underway.<\/p>\n

The campaign supports operating costs at the soup kitchen located at 31 Water Street.<\/p>\n

St. Susan Center<\/strong> executive director Cherie Rowland<\/strong> said, “Only a few short months ago, we were averaging 120 meals served per day. Today we are averaging 180 meals served each day.”<\/p>\n

BPU General Manager Dave Leathers<\/strong> said that the BPU \u201c\u20b5ents for St. Susan\u2019s\u201d drives have raised $307,611.54 over the past 23 years.<\/p>\n

In addition to generous sponsors, the campaign is assisted by community members who drop coins, cash and checks into bright yellow \u201c\u20b5ents for St. Susan\u2019s\u201d coin canisters placed around the area to collect money to help the soup kitchen feed hungry people.<\/p>\n

Residents also may donate redeemable cans and bottles at the BPU Customer Service Office, at Don\u2019s Car Wash and at the Southside Redemption Center for St. Susan Center.<\/p>\n

Gifts may be mailed to \u201c\u20b5ents for St. Susan\u2019s,\u201d c\/o Jamestown BPU, P.O. Box 700, Jamestown, NY 14702-0700.<\/p>\n

BPU customers who pay their bills online also may contribute online at www.jamestownbpu.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A hot dog sale for the cause will take place outside the BPU Customer Service Office from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Friday, June 2.<\/p>\n

All gifts to the drive go directly to St. Susan Center.<\/p>\n
