A business has organized a fundraiser to support a Kittanning family impacted by a fire that killed three people, including a young child, earlier this week.

A mother, a child, and another man died in the fire, while two other children, ages 5 and 9, survived.

Sherri Reno and Christine Walls, owners of Oh Sugarz, organized a fundraiser to help the family.

They make and sell freeze-dried candy out of Rimersburg and distribute it in stores all over the area, including New Jersey and Maryland.

For the fundraiser, they are selling bags of candy for $7.50 each, with proceeds supporting the family.

"We want to make sure that any expenses that he comes up with -- whether it be food, shelter, clothing, burial, whatever it is -- that the money he can spend as he wishes to help them," said Reno.

The fundraiser runs until March 18.
