💙 Tomorrow is Erie Gives!
As we prepare for this incredible day of community giving, we are honored to share these heartfelt words from Gerrie Marz, M.A., Licensed Psychologist, whose more than 45 years of serving families in Erie County has given her a unique perspective on the importance of strong family support.
She writes:
"The Erie Family Center has been, and continues to be an invaluable beacon, guiding children, parents, and caregivers through the sometimes turbulent waters of child rearing and parenting."
Her words remind us why this work matters.
Every day, The Erie Family Center provides free, inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive programs that empower parents, strengthen relationships, and help children and families thrive.
Tomorrow, you have the opportunity to be part of that impact.
💛 Please consider making a gift to The Erie Family Center during Erie Gives. Every donation—no matter the size—helps ensure local families continue to receive the support, education, and resources they need to build brighter futures.
Together, we can continue building strong families, strong communities, and brighter futures. 💚
📅 Erie Gives Day is tomorrow!
