World Meeting of Families to use Sicklerville woman's clear backpacks

SICKLERVILLE, N.J. (WPVI) -- The countdown is on as we watch and wait for the pope to arrive in the Delaware Valley.

We are 24 days away and one South Jersey business owner is getting her biggest break ever thanks to her faith and hard work.

Linda Milano runs a small marketing company, CFB Promotional Products, out of her home in Sicklerville.

She says she was attending church earlier this year when she reached out to the Archdiocese with the idea to make clear backpacks for participants coming to the World Meeting of Families.

The idea was a hit.

The clear bags have the colorful logo of the World Meeting event printed on them.

More than 15,000 have been ordered so far, making it the largest contract Milano has ever received.

Milano was laid off from her job and started up her own company just last year; she says getting to be a part of the pope's visit lets her know she did the right thing.

"It's always scary starting a business, but this was a confirmation that I am doing the right thing and that this is the path that God wants me to do," Milano said.

Milano says she suggested that the bags be transparent which will help security personnel to see their contents.

With all the heightened security measures in place, local and federal authorities like having the clear bags.
