LVF Seeks Donors to Help Spread Holiday Cheer

While holiday time is one that is supposed to be filled with joy and happiness, that is not the case for many of our friends and neighbors in Bucks County.  Lenape Valley Foundation (LVF) hopes to make the holidays a little brighter for those in need.  The Holiday Assistance Program, an annual effort organized by LVF staff and volunteers, was developed for just that purpose. 

For the past 55 years, the compassionate and caring staff of Lenape Valley Foundation has been there to provide treatment, crisis services, case management and community supports for children and adults in need.  More than 7000 residents of our community utilized one or more of LVF’s critical services this past year.  The doors of Lenape Valley Foundation’s high-quality programs are always open to those who have the greatest needs. 

This year, as it has done over the past few years, LVF is helping consumers who are in need during the holiday season.  LVF is appealing to companies and individuals to help by “adopting” families and/or individuals in order to offer them some joy over the holidays.  Once a company/individual agrees to “adopt,” LVF will provide a “wish list” of holiday gifts requested by a consumer.  By shopping for and purchasing gifts for these individuals, community members will be doing a great service to others in the community.

Donors may elect to wrap the gifts or provide them unwrapped.  With the help of caring volunteers, LVF will coordinate the gift fulfillment process and unwrapped gifts will be wrapped. If you are unable to purchase gifts, but would like to make a monetary donation to be used for gift purchases, that would also be appreciated.

The mission of Lenape Valley Foundation is to partner with members of our community encountering mental health, substance use, intellectual or developmental challenges as they pursue their personal aspirations and an enhanced quality of life.

For over half a century, Lenape Valley Foundation has partnered with residents of Bucks County encountering mental health, substance use, intellectual or developmental challenges, providing services to assist them in the pursuit of their personal aspirations and an enhanced quality of life.  Lenape Valley Foundation is a private, not-for-profit provider of crisis, information and referral, treatment, case management, residential, consultation, and psycho-educational services.
