🎒📔 is a reminder that student success goes beyond the classroom.

At East Stroudsburg University, a grant from our Foundation is helping the Work-Based Learning Virtual Internship program give more students access to opportunities that may have otherwise been out of reach. By making internships more flexible and accessible, the program is removing barriers and creating a stronger path from education to employment.

“This not only strengthens their career readiness but also removes a critical barrier—transportation—allowing more students to participate, gain real-world experience and position themselves for success in today’s competitive workforce.” — Sylvester, Dean of the College of Business and Management

And this is just the beginning—the program aims to expand from serving 50 students to 100 over the next year.

is a great reminder that a secure, stable home changes everything.

Greater Lycoming Habitat for Humanity is doing more than building safe, affordable housing—they’re helping families create stronger foundations and brighter futures.

The organization is in year three of a five-year plan to build 11 new homes in Williamsport and South Williamsport, while also preserving existing homes—so people can stay comfortable where their memories were made.

“We are so thankful for the support of Members 1st Charitable Foundation,” said Dana, Director of Development. “The funding for our Home Preservation Program will allow residents to age in place with dignity, preserve the region’s affordable housing stock and revitalize neighborhoods at no cost to those who need it most.”

And they’re gearing up for their first-ever “Blitz Build” this June—building one home in one weekend!

Thank you for working toward a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

✅ Answer reveal: Yesterday’s statement belongs to Hoffman Homes.

You matched the mission—now here’s the impact.

Hoffman Homes in Adams County supports youth across Pennsylvania who have experienced trauma and serious mental health challenges. Many arrive in crisis—so the first priority is simple: safety, stability and people who don’t give up.

Here are a few ways they help young people heal and move forward:

💛 Intensive, trauma-informed treatment through their Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF)
💛 Creative therapies—including equine, art, drama and animal-assisted therapy—to help people express what words often can’t
💛 Education and stability through Hoffman Homes Academy (Pre-K–12)
💛 A therapeutic shelter for young people experiencing homelessness

Hoffman Homes said support from us means more than funding—it means hope, and it helps sustain the day-to-day care and programming that makes healing possible.

🐕‍🦺 Hope you didn’t fur-get to vote in yesterday’s poll.

✅ The correct answer is up to 24 months—Tails of Valor Paws of Honor Program, Inc. states that's how long it could take before a pup is ready to serve.

The Lehigh County organization was established in 2014, and each dog is named in honor of a fallen soldier, so every partnership carries a legacy of service.
