We were honored to sponsor the Mother to Mother Luncheon and Autism Resource Fair at Grand Point Church in Chambersburg, supporting families across Franklin County. This meaningful event created a welcoming space for connection, encouragement and access to valuable resources for mothers and caregivers navigating the autism journey.

It was a day centered on support, understanding and strengthening our community through compassion and shared experience.
