The simplest gifts can make the greatest impact. 💛

Earlier this week, our KidsPeace New England team at our Graham Lake Campus in Ellsworth, ME was honored to receive a generous donation of 26 handmade fleece tie blankets from the employees of Maine Savings Federal Credit Union. The project began with a conversation at the KidsPeace New England Charity Golf Scramble, where Christina Smart, Branch Manager and KidsPeace Maine Board of Associates member, shared that Maine Savings employees were looking for a meaningful community service project that would directly benefit members of their community.

Recently, KidsPeace has been the recipient of an incredible outpouring of generosity through in-kind donations from many wonderful community partners, especially our friends at Crayola and Starlight Childrens Foundation.

Thanks to their support, these gifts have been distributed across our KidsPeace Children’s Hospital, Donley Therapeutic Education Center, Residential Program, and Community-Based Programs, including our Green Street Clinic and Intensive Behavioral Health Services, throughout the Lehigh Valley, ensuring that children and families across our organization can benefit.

From inspiring creativity and learning to providing comfort, encouragement, and moments of joy, these donations do so much more than provide resources. They remind the children and families we serve that an entire community is standing behind them, cheering them on, and investing in their futures.

We are deeply grateful to Crayola, the Starlight Children’s Foundation, and all of our generous partners who believe in our mission and make a difference through their kindness. These gifts are bringing hope, help, and healing to children and families across KidsPeace every day, and we couldn’t be more thankful. 💛

💗 Our first-ever KidsPeace Homecoming was one for the books! 💗

Last night, we came together to celebrate 25 years of the Donley Therapeutic Education Center (TEC) at KidsPeace Orchard Hills and the extraordinary impact it has made on the lives of countless children.

Congratulations to our first-ever KidsPeace Homecoming royalty, Queen Madison Tuskes and King Murtaza Jaffer, Kidney Donor! 👑

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our KidsPeace Homecoming Court, sponsors, guests, and supporters, we raised $50,000 to support educational services for the children we serve.

A special thank-you to our amazing sponsors who made the evening possible: Presenting Sponsor: Air Products Foundation, Spirit Sponsor: Community Bank, N.A., Snacks & Sips Sponsor: First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union, and Cheerleader Sponsors: BSI Corporate Benefits, Burkholders Heating & Air Conditioning Inc, and James & Naomi Schenck Yergey.

For 25 years, Donley TEC has brought the KidsPeace mission of hope, help, and healing to life through education, encouragement, and opportunity. Last night was a celebration of that legacy and of the vision and generosity of Inez and Ed Donley, former Chairman and CEO of Air Products, whose transformational $1 million gift helped make the school possible.

While we crowned a King and Queen, our KidsPeace Homecoming was about so much more than crowns. It was about bringing people together in support of our children, honoring a remarkable 25-year legacy, and investing in brighter futures for the young people we serve. To our inaugural KidsPeace Homecoming Court, sponsors, guests, and associates, thank you for making this event such a meaningful and memorable success. 💗✨

In what has become a cherished annual fall tradition, KidsPeace recently received over 70 beautiful handmade quilts from Project Comfort, a ministry of St. James Lutheran Church in Coopersburg, PA.

The quilts were delivered by KidsPeace Board Member Naomi Yergey alongside Amanda, representing Project Comfort. Together, they helped ensure these meaningful gifts will reach the children and families who can benefit most from them.

Each quilt is lovingly crafted by volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to creating something truly meaningful for the young people and families we serve. These handmade gifts will benefit youth and families in our PA Foster Care Programs, Community Programs, and Residential Program, providing warmth, comfort, and a tangible reminder that they are supported by a caring community.

For many children and adolescents facing challenges, a handmade quilt offers more than physical comfort. It can provide a sense of security, belonging, and hope during difficult times. We are deeply grateful to the dedicated volunteers of Project Comfort for their continued generosity and compassion, and to Naomi and Amanda for helping connect this incredible act of kindness with the youth and families we serve.

Thank you, Naomi, Amanda, and Project Comfort for helping wrap the children and families of KidsPeace in comfort, kindness, and support, one stitch at a time. ❤️

Our KidsPeace Maine team was proud to participate in the NAMI Maine Walk & Family Fun Festival, joining community members from across the state in support of mental health awareness and wellness.

This meaningful event brings people together to raise awareness, foster hope, strengthen community connections, and help ensure more Mainers have access to the support they need. We were honored to walk alongside so many passionate advocates and organizations dedicated to making a difference.

At KidsPeace, we believe in the power of connection, and we’re grateful to support events that inspire hope, encourage understanding, and remind us that no one has to face mental health challenges alone. 💛
