A Sweet Tradition Returns
Olean Food Barn and HomeCare & Hospice Foundation Team Up for November Fundraiser
ALLEGANY - Something sweet is back for a great cause! Throughout November, Olean Food Barn and the HomeCare & Hospice Foundation are once again teaming up to celebrate National Hospice & Palliative Care Month with the return of the Cinnamon Care Blossom, a delicious treat that gives back to local hospice patients and their families.
The Cinnamon Care Blossom features Olean Food Barn's signature cinnamon frycake topped with a delicate maple-frosted blossom, symbolizing care and compassion. Available in convenient four-packs, a portion of every sale throughout November will benefit the HomeCare & Hospice Foundation.
“We love being able to take something our customers already enjoy and turn it into something that gives back,” said Jim Stoddard and Scott McCann of Olean Food Barn. “Bringing the Cinnamon Care Blossom back for another November was an easy decision. HomeCare & Hospice does so much for families in our community, and we're happy to do our small part. Besides, it's hard to beat a good doughnut for a good cause!”
First introduced in 2025 through a collaboration with Olean Food Barn's Scott McCann and Jim Stoddard, the fundraiser combines a longtime local favorite with a meaningful opportunity to support hospice care in our communities.
"There's something special about a community coming together over something as simple as a box of doughnuts," said Melissa Sullivan, CEO of HomeCare & Hospice. "Every purchase helps our Foundation provide those extra touches of comfort, kindness and joy that can mean so much to our patients and their families. We're grateful to Olean Food Barn for continuing this sweet tradition and giving our community another delicious way to make a difference.”
