Two local representatives to the South Western Regional Youth Advisory Board helped to organize “Kids That Care”.  Our local youth, along with other representatives for the Southwest Region, had children make Valentine’s Day Cards for veterans.  The cards will be distributed at local VA Hospitals for Valentine’s Day.

We have children from our programs attending school at Slippery Rock University, Erie Business School, BC3, ITT Technical School, Westminster University, New Castle School of Trades and Penn State.

With the help of volunteers from Westminster College, we hope to re-open Kirkwood Independent Living Helping House (KILHH).  The house is available to current and former students who may need help with food, clothing or household items.  It is also available for laundry, referrals, a shower, and assistance with paperwork or to just stop by and socialize.  Regular hours of operation should be available by February 1^st.
