EMPANADA COOKING CLASS & CRAFT SHOW FUNDRAISER!
One of our B.A.T.S. board members is pretty awesome at making empanadas — and while we’ve been looking for some new and fun fundraiser ideas, she decided to put those skills to work and host an Empanada Cooking Class!
We’re also very grateful to Grace Lutheran Church of Berwick, located at 1315 Fairview Ave., Berwick, for helping us make this event possible and for sponsoring B.A.T.S. for the day.
Want to learn how to make empanadas?
We are now reserving spots for anyone interested in joining the class and helping us make empanadas that will also be used as part of the fundraiser.
Cooking Class Cost: $10 per person
Space is limited, so we can only accept a certain number of participants.
To reserve your spot, please contact Alita at amiranda@bats-pa.org or call the B.A.T.S. office at 570-520-4172. She will follow up with you regarding registration.
CRAFT VENDORS WANTED!
This will also be an Empanada Cooking Class & Craft Show, and we are looking for approximately 8 craft vendors who would like to set up during the event. All inside.
Vendor Tables: $25 per table
Once your vendor spot is secured, B.A.T.S. will also help promote your business, crafts, or products leading up to the event.
All food sold during the event will be TO-GO.
November 7th
Cooking Class: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

And most importantly, we want to give a very special THANK YOU to Grace Lutheran Church for opening their doors, supporting B.A.T.S., and helping us bring another community fundraiser together.
Please help us spread the word, sign up for the class, reserve a vendor table, or just stop out and support B.A.T.S.!

Business Tax Credit Opportunities
Neighborhood Assistance Program
BUSINESS OWNERS — IF YOU’VE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM US, YES… WE ARE LOOKING FOR PARTNERS. And if you haven’t received one yet… you may soon. So please take a few minutes to read this.
First, let me make something very clear:
NO — we are not trying to reinvent the wheel.
We are simply trying to add supportive spokes to the wheel by filling geographical and service gaps that currently exist in our area.
There are many great organizations already doing great work. We don’t want to duplicate what they are doing. We want to work alongside them, fill the voids, and bring services and support closer to the people who need them.
If you want to understand exactly what we mean by that, please ask. We are more than happy to explain our vision.
We are actively looking for businesses that have Pennsylvania tax liability to consider learning more about the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and how it can work for them — and for our community.
Instead of simply sending all those tax dollars to Harrisburg with no say in where they ultimately go, eligible businesses may have an opportunity to receive tax credits for supporting approved community projects.
You get to be part of the decision.
Depending on the program and your eligibility, you may have the opportunity to choose which program or project you want your support directed toward.
And those dollars can help us operate programs, provide services, and potentially help develop the facilities and supportive-housing infrastructure we are working toward.
So, when you receive a letter from B.A.T.S. asking about NAP, please don’t throw it away. Ask questions. Let us explain it. Look at your options.
You may discover an opportunity to take money you are already paying in taxes and help put it toward something tangible in the community.
People. Housing. Recovery. Veterans. Seniors. Families. Support.
That’s the bigger picture we are trying to build.
We aren’t asking businesses to simply write us a check and walk away. We are looking for partners.
Partners who want to sit down with us, understand the vision, look at the possibilities, and help us build something that can make a lasting difference in the Berwick area and beyond.
If you receive a letter from us — please reach out.
If you own a business and haven’t received one yet but want to learn more about becoming a partner, please reach out.
We would much rather sit down and explain the entire vision than ask you to believe in something you don’t fully understand.
We aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel. We’re trying to add the spokes that are missing. And we’re just getting started.
