support families, and build a stronger community.

“At ALSM, we make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. One of my proudest moments was helping a mother connect with the resources her son needed to address speech and hearing concerns. We work together as a team to advocate for children and families, and I’m proud to be part of an organization that truly cares.” - Shella Weaver

It was a chilly afternoon, but that didn’t keep the pets indoors! We welcomed our new chaplain, The Rev. Marty Jo Stellabotte, on Sunday afternoon as she blessed cats and dogs at The Lutheran Home at Hollidaysburg. We hold the event annually to remember St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all animals.

Join us tomorrow for a blessing of pets as we celebrate the joy and companionship our furry, feathered, scaled and finned friends bring into our lives!

Please ensure your animal is safely leashed or crated. All are welcome - invite your friends and neighbors! 🐾

The residents at The Lutheran Home at Hollidaysburg enjoyed getting crafty and making homemade bird feeders. It was a fun activity filled with creativity, conversation and plenty of smiles. We love finding meaningful ways to connect with nature and enjoy the simple joys of each season!

Residents at The Lutheran Home had fun making special goodies for shelter dogs waiting for their forever homes. The treats were distributed between the Central PA Humane Society , Centre County PAWS and Mending Hearts Animal Rescue.

A big thank-you to Bishop Shock for delivering the treats to Centre County Paws, where he volunteers.

What a wonderful way to share love, kindness, and tasty treats with our four-legged friends!
