Creche for Kids, Inc.

We are so thankful to The Chautauqua Women’s Golf League who selected Crèche as their 2024 fundraising recipient! They were so excited to meet Crèche members and learn about our mission…they even golfed in our Crèche “FORE” the Kids golf tournament! Crèche members Erin Tarana & Beth Snow were invited to their luncheon, celebrating their sponsorship, where they gifted our organization with a check for $4052!

The Chautauqua Center (TCC) pediatric department was restocked with 48 newborn and two-month old appointment gift bags. At the request of the TCC physician and nurse, Crèche provided several items for community members with limited resources in the Federal Qualified Health Center. A special thanks to Carrie Cadwell Brown (not pictured) and Dawn Columbare for ordering the inventory and Wendy Kane and Beth Snow who helped pack and deliver the Crèche bags with Dawn. Thank you ladies for all your hard work! 🥰

Don't forget that this Friday, June 7th from 5:00pm-8:00pm is Creche's Fri-Yay event at the Southern Tier Distilling Co.! Help us collect diapers, sunscreen, wipes and baby formula for our community. Bring your Family and Friends to this fantastic event! 10% of all proceeds support the charitable work of Crèche, so bring everyone! We hope to see you there!!

Crèche members brought their ‘A-game’ to Jefferson Middle School’s Family Game Night on May 16. Thank you Katie Andalora for rounding up your fellow Crèche members to volunteer in support of your students! What a fun night!!

More good news! According to @mayoclinic “Volunteering reduces stress and increases positive, relaxed feelings by releasing dopamine. By spending time in service to others, volunteers report feeling a sense of meaning and appreciation, both given and received, which can have an stress-reducing effect.” Something to consider this Stress Awareness Month 😉 #stressawarenessmonth #volunteer #crechejamestown #nonprofit #communitycare #forthekids
