Canonsburg, PA - December 30, 2020 - The Marcellus & Utica Gas Suppliers, Services, and Manufacturers Association (MUG) recently donated over 200 mittens and 200 winter hats to the STEP, Inc. Head Start Mitten Tree Project in Williamsport, PA. MUG was unable to host any events in the greater Williamsport area in 2020 due to unforeseen circumstances, but wanted to contribute to an organization’s good cause during the holiday season. Over the last few years, this project has been able to help more than 600 children and MUG is very proud to donate to such a great cause.
About STEP Inc. - Incorporated in 1966, the Lycoming-Clinton Counties Commission for Community Action (STEP), Inc. is a private, nonprofit Community Action Agency. STEP stands for "Success Through Engagement and Partnership," which is achieved in two ways. First, STEP’s programs engage individuals, families, and communities in their own strategies for success - the customers become involved directly, and truly own their achievements. Secondly, because no single organization can do it all, success is achieved through partnerships with complementary groups and entities that can also assist these individuals, families, and communities.
