Tonight’s PEN’s Diner “Italian Night” was one of those nights that reminds us exactly why this space matters. ❤️🍝

Good food, laughter, conversations, and people coming together around the table — it was such a nice evening from start to finish. We are so proud of the way everyone showed up, helped out, and made tonight feel welcoming and special.

A huge thank you to everyone who came, everyone who helped cook, decorate, clean, organize, and everyone who simply brought good energy into the room. Nights like this do not happen without community, and we are incredibly grateful for ours. 🇮🇹✨

We’re already looking forward to the next dinner together.

Yesterday at the PEN Drop-In Center, we spent time slowing down and reflecting through a special letter-writing group for Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚

Participants wrote letters to someone important in their lives ,someone who has helped them, supported them, encouraged them, or simply been there along the way.

Sometimes on our journey, it’s easy to focus only on what we’ve had to do on our own. Yesterday was about taking a moment to recognize the people who helped us get where we are today. ✨

There were heartfelt words, meaningful conversations, and a lot of quiet reminders that connection matters more than we realize. We’re proud of everyone who participated and shared a piece of their story through their letters. 💌

Thank you to everyone who joined us

We had a great time at the center today connecting with the Crisis Intervention Team.It’s always nice seeing the community come together!

It was a really good mix of conversation, questions, and just getting to understand each other a little better. We appreciate how open and easygoing everyone was—it made for a comfortable space all around.

Big thank you to the CIT team for coming out and spending time with us, and to everyone who joined in and made it a good experience.

Come back and see us anytime—we’ll have a seat ready for you 🤍🤍

🐾✨ Puss Puss Attended CSP! ✨🐾

This month’s CSP meeting had a special guest… Puss Puss 🐱💛
She made her rounds, sat in, and gave her full approval (as usual).

CSP (Community Support Program of Pennsylvania) brings people together to support mental health, connect, and learn about events and resources happening in the community.

🗓️ We host CSP every third Thursday—and we’d love for you to join us!
Come for the conversation, stay for the good vibes (and maybe Puss Puss too). 🌿
