Our Book Train closed out the year with a total of 5,403 books! Most were donated to Mitzvah Circle and Jenkintown Day Nursery. If you have or know someone who can donate new or gently used books for kids ages 0-10, contact Janet Crawford via email at [email protected]. Pickup can be arranged. Infant or small children’s board books are especially welcomed.
Our fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Foundation at the Jenkintown Festival of the Arts raised $1,466. Special thanks to the Abington High School Key Club for running the booth and selling lemonade and pretzels.
The Abington Aktion Club organized a summer “Share A Pair” drive and collected over 1,000 socks for kids and adults in need. The socks were donated to Foster Angels and Angels in Motion.
The Abington High School Key Club made over 100 cards of encouragement for The Breathing Room Foundation, an organization that supports patients diagnosed with cancer and their families.
We hosted many wonderful organizations this last month through our weekly Speaker Series including Covenant House, MANNA, NAMI Montgomery County and The Breathing Room Foundation.

Beds for Kids program
Many social service agencies in the Philadelphia area help low-income families obtain housing, but few can help families turn their housing into functional homes. As a result, children are forced to sleep on the floor, on sofas, or crowded into bed with several family members. Sleeping arrangements such as these often lead to poor sleep, which goes hand-in-hand with poor health and poor school performance.
OHAAT’s Beds for Kids program delivers beds, bedding, and tools that encourage healthy bedtime habits directly to the homes of children in need. With beds of their very own, children can get the quality and sufficient sleep they need to thrive.
Come out and join us as Kate Fay will educate us on this wonderful program
