🎓✨ Connecting at Messiah University✨🎓
In early April, Grace represented Paxton Ministries at Messiah University’s Tailgating for Jobs Career Fair, and she wasn’t alone—her trusty pup, Pookie, tagged along and helped spread some extra smiles 🐾💙! It was a great day of connecting with students and sharing about the meaningful work happening at Paxton.
We loved meeting individuals who are seeking a unique opportunity to serve others in a Christian environment. If you’re looking for work that makes an impact, we have open positions and would love for you to learn more.
👉 Check out our website to explore current openings and see how you can be part of the mission at Paxton Ministries.
Thanks to Messiah University for hosting a wonderful event—and to Pookie for being the cutest recruiter on site! 🐶👏www.paxtonmin.org/careers.

🚧 Traffic Alert: Paxton Street Home Access Update 🚧
Road closure may impact your travel to Paxton Street Home.

PennDOT is enhancing safety by removing the Paxton St. and Sycamore St. intersection and realigning the roads to run parallel. During construction, PennDOT is directing all vehicles to access Sycamore Street (and Paxton Street Home) via 19th Street.

What to expect:
➡️Use 19th Street to reach Sycamore Street
➡️Use Sycamore to access Paxton's parking lot on 20th Street (as usual)
➡️When leaving, you will need to turn left onto Sycamore Street
➡️The courtyard is open for drop-offs and pick-ups as usual

⏳ These traffic changes are expected to last up to one year, so please plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

🗺️ Check out the detour map below for an easier trip!

Thanks for your flexibility during this project.

We loved celebrating our O.T. intern, Kasi! 💙
Over the past few months, Kasi has made such a meaningful impact by working alongside our residents and helping them build practical skills for daily living. From creative activities to hands-on support, she brought encouragement, compassion, and fresh ideas to everything she did.
Our staff and residents are so grateful for the time, care, and heart she shared with our community. Thank you, Kasi, for all you’ve done—you will be missed, and we wish you all the best in what comes next!

We were so grateful to welcome the leadership team from the PA State Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse (OMHSA) to Paxton! 💙
They jumped right in— cleaning, lending a hand in the kitchen, and spending meaningful time with our residents. One of the highlights of the day was the activity they led, filled with fun games that helped build fine motor skills—though with all the laughter and joy, you might not have even noticed the learning happening!
Thank you, OMHSA team, for your heart to serve and for bringing such positive energy to our community. Your time and care made a real difference!

On Memorial Day, we pause with gratitude to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice made the freedoms we enjoy today possible, and we remember them with deep respect and appreciation.

At Paxton Ministries, we also found meaningful ways to come together as a community. We celebrated with an indoor picnic filled with great food, friendship, and connection. A special thank you to the volunteers from Faulkner Subaru Harrisburg for joining us and helping make the day so enjoyable.
