💜 Giving back with Nick
One of our friendly faces at Intandem, Nick, helped serve lunch to community members in Bradford, Pa. on Friday, making the trip with Katie Caruso from Day Services. Nick joined The Zonta Club of Bradford in helping serve a weekly meal at the Church of Ascension, made possible through a grant from the United Way of Bradford.
Way to go, Nick! Your generosity and warm spirit set an amazing example.

🎸 Music with Brian 🎤
Our own communications specialist, Brian Lothridge, made a trip down to Allegany to perform a few Day Services hits … from The Gambler and Wagon Wheel to our newest favorite, Take Me Home, Country Roads! Music is a universal language and we love to sing and dance here at Intandem! Thanks for your time and your many talents, Brian. 🤘

🦔 Hey there, Helga! 👋
This month’s visit from Mr. Mike and the Sun-Dance Kids Farm brought Day Services participants up close to a friend named Helga, the hedgehog! Our new little friend was a big hit and the talk from Mike was fun and educational, as always.

It's National Hat Day! We decorated our noggins with the best of lids: beanies, bucket hats, berets, cowboy hats, ball caps, and even Mickey Mouse ears!

Which is your favorite?

☺️🎂 Kindness in action: Everyone Deserves Cake!
At Day Services, our Kindness Club started a project after discussing how much they enjoyed celebrating birthdays – and how for some people, that special day can go without celebration. This sparked the idea for a drive to collect items for Birthday Kits. With items donated across the agency, we had enough supplies to create 40 kits! Once assembled, our Kindness Club members were able to donate 20 kits each to two local food pantries, the Warming House and the Olean Food Pantry.
👏 Kudos to everyone who made this possible, from our generous donors to all our Kindness Club members!
