This past week, we had a wonderful time at the Lower Macungie Twp Community Day where we were able to make meaningful connections with dozens of local residents and businesses. This was the event where we first met our partners from Emmaus Aquatic Club TWO years ago! Since then, they’ve provided free swimming lessons to over 100 TKP kids! 🙌🏼 There was delicious food, tons of fun for the kids including crafts, games and bounce houses, and lots of freebies! What a great opportunity to spread awareness around foster care during Foster Care Awareness Month. 💙💛 And to our surprise, several adults stopped by our table to share that they had been in foster care as children. How special for them to feel a connection, even if it was a hard part of their life. We are honored to know they have faith in sharing their stories with us.🫶🏼 Thanks for hosting this fun event, Lower Mac crew! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Lynn Zeiner Diane Lewis McAloon Indu Bulbul Berman, MBA, MPH ChristyLee Kuchak . . #community #fun #fostercareawareness #connection #lowermacungie #family #fostercare #thekindnessproject #tkpoutreach #volunteer

The team at New York Life Insurance Company in Allentown contacted us about creating special STEM learning kits for our kids! 🙌🏼 They had acquired them through Foster Love - Together We Rise to do a team building project while also supporting the local foster care community. 💛💙 Each box was assembled with a variety of STEM-based activities so our kids have an educational project to work on this summer. We love this so much! 🙏🏻 . . #fostercare #fostercareawarenessmonth #stem #education #fosteryouth #tkpdonation #fosterlove #instagood #thankyou #fridaymotivation #volunteer #yourkindnessshines #science #summerfun

☔️ Rainy weather won’t hold us back from enjoying beautiful new connections with amazing community partners like Conquest Mortgage LLC 🥰 These folks are so much fun and also have extremely kind hearts. They hosted a cornhole tournament and 50-50 raffle that raised over $2000 for TKP! 🙌🏼 Sarah Charlton Yost and Jenae Holtzhafer really enjoyed their time meeting local realtors and having the opportunity to share with everybody about the important work being done by the team at The Kindness Project. These events are truly so important to us in sustaining our free services to the foster care community. 🙏🏻 Thanks to Lynn Zegalia for reaching out to coordinate this! If you or your organization, or even your family and friends, would like to organize an event like this in support of our mission, please reach out to donations@mykindnessproject.org. . . #fostercare #adoption #mondaymotivation #fosteringsaveslives #mykindnessproject #thekindnessproject #fostercloset #outreach #lehighvalley #fostercareawareness #foster #makeadifference #dogood #bekind #kindness #hope #love #itallmatters #yourkindnessshines #happy #bekind #kindnessmatters #inthistogether #thankful #kindnessinaction #cornhole #changetheworld #care #give #giveback

It’s Sunday, which for the past 10 weeks meant a new sports experience for our kids and teens thanks to the hard work and passion of Gianna Taffo our Doctoral Capstone student from Cedar Crest College. From soccer to floor hockey to football to weight training and even hip hop dance, dozens of youth had the chance, in a small, private setting, to learn more about sports. Thanks again to our friends at SOLDIERFIT Trexlertown, Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Allegro Dance Studios LLC for offering your time and talents for free! Gianna has completed her important work and graduates this week, so we had the special opportunity to be part of her OT Doctorate Program Capstone Dissemination! Her research over the past several months has provided us with incredible data and insight so we can continue to expand our Kindness Connections Program in meaningful ways. Watch for an updated link on our website where you can review her final report! This program has also provided our kids with some new skills and experiences and created beautiful core memories that will always be with them! We love our partnership with Cedar Crest College and are already looking forward to our next capstone experience with them! 👏🏼👏🏼 Comment below to show Gianna how important her work was and how awesome she is for creating it from scratch! Happy graduation, Gianna! 👩🏻🎓🥰 . . #fostercare #fostercareawareness #fosteryouth #kindnessconnections #sports #free #positiveplay #connection #capstoneproject #finale #tkpstaff #tkpboard #sunday
