Penn Yan, NY ? Employees of local hospitality businesses, Finger Lakes Premier Properties (FLPP) and the Best Western PLUS Vineyard Inn & Suites, helped raise money for Milly?s Pantry Backpack Program this past weekend at Star Shine, the winter holiday event in Penn Yan.

To demonstrate their commitment to community outreach programs, employees offered their time to promote Milly?s Backpack Program with a winter raffle for a free Pool & Pizza Party at the Best Western PLUS Vineyard Inn & Suites. Their table at Star Shine provided an ornament decorating station for kids, with Rice Krispy treats provided by FLPP employees.

In the process, not only were the two able to amplify Milly?s communal recognition, but they also raised $135 during the Star Shine event.

Milly?s Pantry Backpack Program is a partnership between Milly?s Pantry, Inc. and the Penn Yan Central School District. The Backpack Program provides a bag of non-perishable food to students every Friday afternoon to supplement weekend meals.

Located in Penn Yan in upstate New York, the Vineyard Inn & Suites is centrally located just a short drive from Geneva, Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, and Corning. A wide range of activities await you in the Finger Lakes, including winery tours and wine tasting, shopping, golfing, skiing, water sports, museums, historic attractions, theaters and quaint villages and towns.

Finger Lakes Premier Properties is the leading vacation rental and lakefront real estate company in the region. This is the second year a donation has been allocated specifically to Milly?s Pantry in recognition of those less fortunate during the holiday season, a tradition the company plans to uphold in 2018 and years to come.
