Please join us in congratulating Vivona and wishing her continued success in all that lies ahead. We know she will accomplish great things, and we can't wait to see where her journey takes her next! 💜

Big feelings deserve safe spaces—and sometimes, a book is where that healing begins. 💙📚

Today Orion is proud to be part of Mental Health Fun Day, sharing children’s books that help young readers understand emotions, build resilience, and know they are never alone.

Literacy does more than teach children to read—it helps them name their feelings, spark conversations, and build confidence for life.

When we put books into the hands of children, we’re also supporting stronger minds, healthier hearts, and brighter futures.

🚀 Right now, the Orion spacecraft is traveling thousands of miles beyond the Moon, testing systems that will one day carry astronauts deeper into space than ever before. From navigating deep space to safely returning through Earth’s atmosphere, every step of its journey is about preparation, resilience, and pushing boundaries.

✨ At Orion Communities, we may not be exploring space, but we are on a mission just as meaningful. Every day, we help individuals and families navigate challenges, secure stable housing, and build stronger, more sustainable futures right here in our community. 🏡

🌟 Just like our namesake, Orion Communities is about charting a path forward – through uncertainty, with determination, and always with hope.

💫 Whether it’s a spacecraft finding its way home or a neighbor finding stability, every mission matters.

Thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and board members, 600 potty training books (in THREE languages!) are headed to Chester County Headstart . And another 200 books are ready for Family Literacy Night at Spring City Elementary School 📚

Because access to learning should meet every child—and every family—where they are.

We are saddened to share the passing of Emeritus Board member Glenn Moses on March 18, 2026, at the age of 67.

Glenn’s journey with Orion began in 1991, and for more than 15 years on our Board, he remained a true “keeper of the flame” for our mission—serving with compassion, dedication, and an ever-present smile. Just days before his passing, Glenn joined us at Casino Royale, reconnecting with friends, playing Blackjack, and even taking a spin on the dance floor.

Glenn lived life fully, using his all-terrain chair to stay active, attend concerts, go camping, and never miss a chance to be part of the moment. His joy, resilience, and deep care for others touched countless lives, and he will be greatly missed.
