Halloween Costumes

To make this Halloween not feel as different as it was for the families that benefit from the programs at the Catherine McAuley Center, our tutors did a Halloween Costume drive in their high schools. We delivered costumes to kids in need.

Family Members Given Christmas Gifts

We “adopted” a family of 6 from the Adopt-A-Family Christmas Program. Yep! Our community bought everything on this families’ list for Santa (and then some!), and it really made our season bright.

Boxes of Feminine Hygiene Products

We had a Period Product Drive (on my front porch!), joined forces with our friends at Spread Joy Scranton Prep and delivered massive amounts of pads and tampons to The Wright Center program for at-risk moms, The Catherine McAuley Center, and United Neighborhood Center after-school programs.
