Generous Funders Drive Regional Impact for Children & Families
Children's Service Center proudly salutes recent funders, organizational donors, and other supporters for their generosity to benefit primary care, Wayne County services, school-based mental health, educational improvement therapies, and families with financial hardship.
-
The United Way of Wyoming Valley has awarded a grant of $35,000 for 2026-2027 through its Community Impact Investment funding to promote care integration across CSC's mental health programs and the Conyngham Primary Health Care Center for children and adolescents.

The Wayne County Community Foundation has awarded a $1,000 grant to Children's Service Center from The Michael J. Bryant Memorial Fund to benefit individuals and families served in the Honesdale office at 840 Main Street. The grant will support a new sensory friendly space with furnishings and activities designed to enhance care for those with sensory challenges.
-
The TJX Foundation awarded a grant of $25,000 to assist with summer programming for CSC's School-Based Behavioral Health Program, which serves 15 districts throughout the region. The program provides continuity of treatment and support activities for students during the summer break and leading into the new school year.

CSC has received a collective $33,000 in donations this year through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program of the PA Department of Community and Economic Development. Donors include HM Life Insurance Company, Honesdale National Bank, Innovation 2 Manufacturing (I2M), and Pride Mobility.

The 25th Annual CSC Golf Outing held in June has netted $21,000 to support the John Thalenfeld Fund for Social Determinants of Health. The Fund benefits eligible families experiencing episodic financial hardship in areas of social risk such as housing, food insecurity, access to health care, transportation, employment, and educational needs.
