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:

  • 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.

  • 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.
