"Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!"
Psalm 107:1

As we enter this season of gratitude and thanks and move into the season of giving, I want to take a mo-
ment to express our heartfelt gratitude for our staff, volunteers, donors and organizations who selflessly
give of their time, talents and treasure to ensure that all children are safe and feel loved.

It is with a humble and grateful heart that we give thanks to the Lord and each of you for we know he is
good and through his steadfast love for all his children we can serve some of the most vulnerable families
in our communities. As you spend time with you families give thanks for them and the many blessings we
have in our lives.

Happy Thanksgiving! Consider giving to
Be Blessed,
CAS

Reaching For The Stars

On November 13, we honored York County President Commissioner Julie Wheeler as the inaugural Shining
Star Awardee for her assistance in helping us to secure the RAYCP Grant that enabled us to build the Werner
Early Learning Childcare Center. Theresa Eshbach gave the Invocation to start the evening. Peter Botros, Shine
Music Foundation, provided background music during the Fellowship Hour, and the Weary Arts Group surprised
us with a Flash Mob to end the evening! Thank you to our sponsors: Members First Federal Credit Union, South-
ern York County Business Association, H & S Towing, First National Bank, Tom McCracken, RBC Wealth Man-
agement, Loxley's @ Heritage Hills, Out Door Country Club, LA and Order, First Capital Credit Union and
Schooley Mitchell. We look forward to making this an annual event!

During the holiday season, many people ask how they
can support or get involved with Children’s Aid Society.
We deeply appreciate your time, your treasures,
and your talents during this giving season.
 Volunteering at Cornerstone Youth Home or the
Lehman Crisis Nursery is always meaningful and
greatly appreciated. $25/$50 Gift cards from Walmart
or Target for the teens we serve are a wonderful way
to brighten their holidays.
 We welcome donations of essential items such as
diapers, wipes (baby or disinfecting), paper towels,
and single-ply toilet paper.
Thank you for helping us care for children and families
in our community!
