          Charitable Donations

            "We make a living by what we
             get.  We make a life by
            what we give."
                         -Winston Churchill

                What is the price of helping a child learn to read?
                Or for guiding parents in ways to interact creatively with
                    their children and enhance their ability to succeed in school?

                What is the price of assuring an elderly adult living
                alone with medical and physical challenges that someone
will be in touch with them daily?

                What would you pay to provide opportunity for youth
                to show off their talents to the cheers of
                family and friends while competing for prizes?

                                                These are just some of the services FSAWV provides FREE
                                          to families in our community through the Parent Child Home Program,
                                             Help Line's RUOK? telephone network and the Youth Talent Expo.
 

                                                 Fiscal changes and challenges aside, we are committed to
                                          continuing the professional services that Northeastern Pennsylvania
                                                                has come to expect from FSAWV.
                           

                                                                    What can you do to help?
