🍎🍂 Fall fun at Tanner's Orchard! 🐐

Our After-School Youth Program enjoyed a fun-filled field trip to Tanner's Orchard last week!

From meeting some furry friends to enjoying a wagon ride and making memories with friends, our youth had a wonderful time exploring all the fall festivities! 🚜🍁

Experiences like these give our youth the opportunity to learn, explore, and enjoy new adventures outside the classroom.

🦇 A little spooky, a little silly, and a whole lot of team bonding! 🖤👻

Our Neighborhood House team came together for a Gothic Gala-themed Staff Retreat! From creative costumes and spooky decorations to delicious food and plenty of laughs, it was a great day to connect, learn, and have some fun together!

We kicked things off with a catered breakfast and specialty coffee from Leaves 'n Beans, followed by staff trainings, team activities, and a few rounds of Spooky Bingo! 🎃☕

And of course, we can't forget our costume contest! Congratulations to The Lorax, who took home the title of Best Costume! 🧡🌳

We're grateful for the opportunity to spend time together outside of our daily routines, strengthen our team, and celebrate the incredible people who make Neighborhood House what it is! 💜

🕰️ Throwback Thursday: Did You Know?

🧸 Did you know that Neighborhood House has a history of providing child care dating all the way back to 1906?

In the late 1990s, our day care program was continuing to grow! A newspaper article from the time highlighted plans to expand the program from 80 to 120 children, helping more local families access affordable child care.

While our programs have evolved over the years, our commitment to supporting children and families has remained the same. Today, we continue that legacy through our Youth Education Program, providing a safe and enriching environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive. 💙

For 130 years, Neighborhood House has been adapting to meet the changing needs of our community, and we're proud to continue that tradition!
