healthy living, dental health, planting seeds, bugs, seasonal themes and the customs of other

Lancaster County Pathfinder Program

Amount Funded: $114.00

A donation to Fund-a-Need allowed students at Lancaster County Youth Services school to purchase yarn and learn crocheting.  They made hats and blankets for Friendship Home. Many items were given as gifts to family members.  One student completed so many unique and interesting projects, she earned Creative Clothing credit.

More than anything, no one wants to be locked up. Crocheting soothed some of that anxiety, eased their

frustrations, and increased their sense of community.  When the needles are working, the entire place is peaceful.

It provided a great opportunity to build positive relationships between students and staff.
