We’re proud to partner with agencies committed to helping our neighbors thrive and reach their full potential! Today, we’re highlighting Allegheny Family Network (AFN), which offers equitable access to health services and benefits.

Through education, financial assistance and family peer support, AFN’s Adult Education Program helps participants overcome barriers to education and employment, increase household income and reduce reliance on public benefits.

Thank you to AFN and all our partners for helping individuals and families build brighter, more stable futures across our region.

A huge thank-you to the amazing volunteers from S&T Bank and the United Way! 🌟

Every year, these incredible teams join forces to lend a helping hand at Laurelville. In just a single day, they tackle what would otherwise take us weeks to accomplish—from grounds maintenance and facility prep to big improvement projects across camp.

Their energy, hard work, and dedication are a true blessing to our staff, our guests, and the entire Laurelville community. We are deeply grateful for your continued partnership and for pouring so much heart into caring for this place.

Thank you, S&T Bank and United Way, for making a lasting difference!
