The Stuff-A-Bus campaign is just one of the ways in which they do so and I?m pleased that we, along with valuable volunteers, can continue to do so. We?ve enjoyed plenty of community support over the years and are looking forward to welcoming a big crowd.?

McGrath noted that several local businesses are also supporting the breakfast by suppling meu items; including sausage from Maria?s Restaurant, home fries from Dahl?s Diner, bacon from The Office Tavern, and ham from Gibby?s Irish Pub.

?We are very appreciative of the continued support we receive from, The Club House Tavern / Spencer?s Ali, Eagle Beverage, local businesses, our planning committee, and the many volunteers that make our breakfast possible. I would also like to acknowledge Pathfinder Bank as our newest sponsor,? said Executive Director of the United Way of Greater Oswego County, Patrick Dewine. ?Businesses and community members coming together to help our youth and show support for their United Way and the way that we strive to help youth succeed is inspiring. ?What better way to strengthen our community than investing in today?s youth, who will become tomorrow?s leaders. ?I invite everyone to join us for a delicious breakfast.??
