In what has become a cherished annual fall tradition, KidsPeace recently received over 70 beautiful handmade quilts from Project Comfort, a ministry of St. James Lutheran Church in Coopersburg, PA.

The quilts were delivered by KidsPeace Board Member Naomi Yergey alongside Amanda, representing Project Comfort. Together, they helped ensure these meaningful gifts will reach the children and families who can benefit most from them.

Each quilt is lovingly crafted by volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to creating something truly meaningful for the young people and families we serve. These handmade gifts will benefit youth and families in our PA Foster Care Programs, Community Programs, and Residential Program, providing warmth, comfort, and a tangible reminder that they are supported by a caring community.

For many children and adolescents facing challenges, a handmade quilt offers more than physical comfort. It can provide a sense of security, belonging, and hope during difficult times. We are deeply grateful to the dedicated volunteers of Project Comfort for their continued generosity and compassion, and to Naomi and Amanda for helping connect this incredible act of kindness with the youth and families we serve.

Thank you, Naomi, Amanda, and Project Comfort for helping wrap the children and families of KidsPeace in comfort, kindness, and support, one stitch at a time. ❤️

Our KidsPeace Maine team was proud to participate in the NAMI Maine Walk & Family Fun Festival, joining community members from across the state in support of mental health awareness and wellness.

This meaningful event brings people together to raise awareness, foster hope, strengthen community connections, and help ensure more Mainers have access to the support they need. We were honored to walk alongside so many passionate advocates and organizations dedicated to making a difference.

At KidsPeace, we believe in the power of connection, and we’re grateful to support events that inspire hope, encourage understanding, and remind us that no one has to face mental health challenges alone. 💛

All we do is Fore the Kids we serve at KidsPeace! 🏌️‍♂️

Last week, we celebrated and hosted our 41st Annual KidsPeace Golf Classic at Woodstone Country Club in Danielsville. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and supporters, $80,000 was raised to support KidsPeace programs and services throughout the Lehigh Valley.

A special thank you to our sponsors who helped make the day possible: Presenting Sponsor Capital Blue Cross, Giveaway Sponsor BSI Corporate Benefits, Golf Cart Sponsor Lockton, Contest Sponsors Plantique, Inc, Benecon, and One Pass, and all of our dedicated Fore the Kids Sponsors.

From great golf and friendly competition to meaningful connections and plenty of laughs, the day was a wonderful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together to support children and families. Most importantly, the support we receive helps KidsPeace provide hope, help, and healing to the young people we serve every day.

Thank you for making our 41st Annual KidsPeace Golf Classic such a tremendous success. We can’t wait to see you on the course again next year! ⛳

🌟 Meet KidsPeace Homecoming Courtier Murtaza Safderali Jaffer 🌟

For Murtaza, community is more than a place. It’s something worth investing in, supporting, and strengthening every day. As a Partner at EBC Printing & Signs, he has built a career centered on relationships, service, and helping local businesses and organizations make a lasting impact throughout the Lehigh Valley.

His passion for giving back extends far beyond the workplace. Murtaza serves on the boards of Grace Montessori School, Via of the Lehigh Valley, and the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Board, among other civic organizations. He believes that when people come together to support one another, amazing things happen.

At home, Murtaza wears two of his favorite titles: husband to a teacher and dad to a middle school daughter. These roles have deepened his appreciation for education and the importance of helping young people learn, grow, and succeed.

That’s why the KidsPeace mission resonates so strongly with him and why he said YES to joining our Homecoming Court! Murtaza believes every child deserves hope, encouragement, and the opportunity to reach their full potential.

As we celebrate 25 years of the Donley Therapeutic Education Center, Murtaza is helping raise critical funds to provide students with the specialized resources, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.

We are honored to have Murtaza on our Homecoming Court and grateful for his leadership, generosity, and heart for the Lehigh Valley!

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Every child deserves to feel safe, supported and hopeful about the future.

At KidsPeace, our mission of bringing hope, help and healing to children, adults, and those who love them is more than a promise. It’s the heart of everything we do.

Today, we celebrate the strength and resilience of the children and families we serve, the compassion of our dedicated associates, and the power of a community that believes brighter days are possible.

Mental health matters and no one should have to face their challenges alone.

Together, we can make a difference, one child, one family, and one hopeful tomorrow at a time. 💗

🌟 Meet KidsPeace Homecoming Courtier Madison Tuskes 🌟

Madison is the Marketing Manager at Tuskes Homes, a fourth-generation, family-owned homebuilder that has been serving the Lehigh Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania since 1969. Her role spans social media, digital advertising, website management, and helping coordinate the charitable giving and community partnerships that Tuskes proudly supports throughout our region.

Madison’s passion for community impact began during her time at Penn State, where she spent four years involved with THON and had the honor of dancing in her senior year. Through those efforts, she helped raise more than $10,000 for families affected by pediatric cancer. Those experiences showed her just how powerful a community can be when people come together to support children and families in need.

That same spirit of compassion, generosity, and showing up for kids is what Madison sees at KidsPeace, and why celebrating 25 years of the Donley Therapeutic Education Center is so meaningful to her.

It’s also why she said “YES” to joining the inaugural KidsPeace Homecoming Court this year. Madison understands the impact that caring communities can have on young people’s lives and is excited to help raise awareness and support for the children, families, and programs that make KidsPeace such a special place.
