Have you ever wondered how your donations have helped?

Here are a few ways your donations to the Founder’s Fund have helped organizations in our community:

  • Armstrong Habitat for Humanity will provide handicap accommodations to their next Habitat home. The partner family has several children with special needs that require unique house modifications to make it a safe home.
  • For the Kids will provide the Royal Family KIDS Camp that provides 5 days away at an accredited overnight facility with a full program of outdoor activities, music, games, sports, and crafts.  It is provided at no cost to the families and is entirely volunteer-run.
  • Kay's Cottage, Armstrong County's Child Advocacy Center (CAC) will host the Child Maltreatment Conference to provide comprehensive training for 100 professionals including mandated reporters, prosecutors, law enforcement, children and youth staff, mental health providers, medical personnel, victim advocates and CAC staff.
  • Friends of the Kittanning Library will purchase archival safe folders, slide pages, albums or binders, and boxes for preservation of the materials. For digitization, the goal is to hire OCI Records Conversion to scan newspapers and other documents. 
  • Armstrong Center for Community Learning will implement a Very Hungry Caterpillar Day event at the Outdoor Discovery Center at Crooked Creek in the Spring of 2023.
  • TryLife Center through Earn to Learn Parenting Classes/Groups, TryLife Center will provide at least two in-person and virtual group classes and/or support groups for clients to participate in each quarter. The goal of groups classes and support groups is for parents to learn about relevant parenting topics while interacting with, and learning from, other parents in the group setting.
