Once again we will be brightening the holidays for residents of the Devereux PA Children's IDD Services (formerly the Kanner Center), which provides high-quality residential treatment and special education services to over 300 children and adolescents ages 6 to 21 with mental disabilities. Many of these residents have no families and rely on the generosity of the community for their Christmas wishes to come true. To find out more about how you can help this holiday season, click here! Contact Patrice Brown by phone at (484) 753-1783 or email at [email protected] with questions.
We love grandparents! We also know that many of them want to be engaged with Goshen Friends in various ways. If you would like your child's grandparents to receive the Goshen Weekly to keep them up-to-date on holiday concerts, school fundraisers, and other exciting news and events, please send their contact information (including email address) to Michele Kornegay at [email protected].
How great is this? Contributions to Goshen Friends School on Giving Tuesday exceeded $3000! Thanks to all who donated!
