Last year’s CPC Gives Back theme was Combat Hunger, where nonperishable food items and money were raised and community service hours were donated toward the overall goals set forth at the onset of the competition.

This year, the college announced that the 2021 CPC Gives Back campaign is Raise the Roof, which will address housing insecurity & homelessness throughout Central Pennsylvania.
