💛 Passing Along a Helpful Item 💛

Once again, we’re bringing you some “well-loved, but not too loved” items from another foster family looking to bless someone else in the community. 🙌

This family, located in Landisville, is looking to pass along a high chair.

If you are a foster family with a need for this item, please reach out to us for more information. And if you know a foster family who could use it, please share this post! 💕

Thank you for helping us connect families with needed resources throughout our community.

🛏️ Community Share Opportunity 🛏️

We had a community member reach out about a full-size mattress that is still in good condition. They recently upgraded and would love to see this usable item help a family instead of ending up in the trash. 💛

If you are a foster or adoptive family and could use this mattress, please reach out to us for more information.
⚠️ Please note: We are not storing this item, so if you are interested, please act quickly.

Thank you for helping us connect resources with families in our community! 💕

💛 Community Impact Update 💛

This past Saturday, during our Open Shop, we were able to serve 9 children and help provide families with many everyday essentials. 🙌

Along with clothing, diapers, wipes, and hygiene items, we were also able to provide:

🛒 A double stroller
🚗 A convertible car seat
👟 A pair of new Nike shoes — which brought lots of smiles! 😊

We are so thankful for your continued support, which allows us to support families in our community in meaningful ways every week. 💕
