DOYLESTOWN, PA — While holiday time is supposed to be filled with joy and happiness, that is not the case for many in Bucks County. Lenape Valley Foundation (LVF) hopes to help make the holidays a little brighter for those in need through its annual Holiday Assistance Program.

For more than 65 years, the staff of Lenape Valley Foundation has been there to provide treatment, crisis services, case management and community support for children and adults in need. More than 14,000 residents from the community utilized one or more of LVF’s critical services this past year. Last year, the Holiday Assistance Program helped close to 600 people.

This year, LVF is seeking individuals, groups and companies to help those in need by “adopting” individuals and/or families to offer them some joy over the holidays.

Once a company or individual agrees to “adopt,” a wish list will be provided. By purchasing gifts for these individuals, donors are doing a great service to others in the community. All those benefiting from the program are receiving services through Lenape Valley Foundation.
