Enjoy office work and keeping things organized? SSU could use your help!

South Schuylkill Unified is looking for an Office Support Volunteer to help create and organize files, file paperwork, make copies, and prepare materials.

We anticipate about 2–3 hours per week at our office in the Walk In Art Center in Schuylkill Haven, with a schedule arranged together.

This would be a great opportunity for a high school student seeking service-learning hours, someone who is retired, or anyone who enjoys helping an office run smoothly. Previous office experience is welcome, but we can show you what to do!

Volunteers are at the heart of SSU, and Main Street is a volunteer and community-driven initiative. Your help behind the scenes gives our small team more time to support local businesses and community projects.

Interested? Please contact Donna J. Eberhart, Executive Director, at [email protected]. Let me know your availability and any school service-learning requirements.

Thank you for considering sharing your time with SSU. Please share this opportunity with someone who might enjoy it!

South Schuylkill Unified is looking for vendors for our Holiday Pop-Up Shop on December 12, from 11AM - 4PM on Main Street in Schuylkill Haven!

We are seeking vendors who do not currently have a storefront. If you sell online, operate a home-based business, or bring your products to markets and community events, we would love to hear from you.

This one-day holiday shopping event will give shoppers an opportunity to discover local businesses and find thoughtful gifts while supporting entrepreneurs in our community.

Our goals are to help emerging businesses reach new customers, encourage people to shop locally, and bring more activity to Main Street. We also want to showcase the possibilities for downtown storefronts and help entrepreneurs explore what a future on Main Street could look like.

Interested in participating or have questions? Contact Donna Eberhart, Executive Director, at [email protected]. Please share your business name and a brief description of what you sell.

Please help us spread the word to a small business owner who would be a great fit. Let’s make this holiday season a celebration of local creativity and opportunity!

This post is a long time coming... how do we describe this cake from The Cake Pros, A Blessing Table Company? There are no words, but we will try. I called the good people at The Cake Pros, A Blessing Table Company, with barely enough lead time, because I wanted to get a cake for myself and a colleague that share the same name and the same birthday. We were hosting a training together during our birthday month and I could not miss the opportunity to surprise her. I had no idea what I wanted when they asked me how I wanted the cake decorated. I mentioned that we work to support small businesses and it would be great if a picture of a small business could be on the cake, but I had no expectations. The person on the phone asked me what business, and I said I didn't care - that it could even be their own. After we hung up, I envisioned I would be getting one of those photo cakes, which would have been fine. When I picked the cake up, well, you can see in the pictures that what we got defied everything I could have envisioned on my own. The knocked my socks off! How awesome is this cake?! Not only that, but it was also moist and yummy. Frequently when you get a cake designed like this it is made with a lot of fondant and it doesn't taste good, but I don't know what they did because this was one of the best cakes I have ever had! By the way, it had a delicious strawberry filling inside. My colleague loved it too and everyone at the meeting was blown away by how clever it was and how good it tasted. Thank you The Cake Pros, A Blessing Table Company for a wonderful memory. The holidays are coming, please consider supporting local businesses and order you special celebration cakes from a local baker right here in Schuylkill Haven. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to make our community beautiful and fun to look at. Have a great fall photo? Post it below.
