We were honored to award the Madame Kennedy Scholarship to Juniata High School senior, Elliat Brown, as she begins her journey toward a degree in Early Childhood Education.

We wish Elliat all the best in her future endeavors and know she will make a wonderful impact on the lives of children. Madame Kennedy’s passion for education, language, and shaping young minds would have made her incredibly proud to see this scholarship supporting another future educator. ❤️

🚨Community Need Alert!🚨

We are in desperate need of baby wipes for our Helping Hands & Hineys Diaper Program.

Our diaper program continues to support local families, and wipes are one of the items we go through the fastest. Every pack donated helps us keep this program stocked and ready for the families who count on it.

If you’re able to help, we would be so grateful for donations of new, unopened packs of baby wipes. Every single pack makes a difference! 🩵

WOW. 💛

Our 2nd Annual Community Day was everything we hoped for and more! Seeing the park filled with families, laughter, smiling kids, community organizations, volunteers, animals, face paint, stuffies, and pure joy was something we’ll never forget.

To everyone who attended, supported, donated, volunteered, partnered with us, or helped spread the word… thank you. The turnout was incredible, and the amount of love this community showed was overwhelming in the best possible way.

Our partners, organizations, and volunteers absolutely understood the assignment. 👏 From setting up stations to making families feel welcome, every single person helped create a day that felt special, safe, inclusive, and FUN.

We are so grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up for one another in such a big way. Already counting down to next year. 💛
