💙 Giving Tuesday is here! 💙

Today, we’re celebrating a day dedicated to kindness, community, and the power of giving. When you support UCP of Northeastern Pennsylvania, you help children and adults with disabilities access the programs, services, and opportunities they need to thrive.

Your generosity—whether through a donation, a share, or simply spreading the word—makes a real difference right here at home.

Thank you for helping us create possibilities this Giving Tuesday. 💙

As you may have seen on the news, several Scranton families were displaced by a fire on Thanksgiving. One of the families impacted by this tragedy receives services through our Early Intervention program.

In this season of giving, we're sharing their GoFundMe page with the hope of reaching more people to offer support to this family. Every donation brings them one step closer to getting back on their feet. Please consider helping by donating or sharing this post.

Thank you for your support and kindness!

The holiday season brings joy and celebration—but for many people with intellectual disabilities, it can also bring unique challenges that often go unseen.

Bright lights, crowded stores, loud gatherings, changes in routine, and social expectations can create sensory overload, anxiety, and stress. Even well-intentioned traditions can become overwhelming without the right support.

This season, let’s lead with compassion.
💛 Be patient.
💛 Offer choices.
💛 Create quiet spaces.
💛 Check in and listen.
💛 Celebrate in ways that feel comfortable and inclusive.

Together, we can make the holidays brighter, calmer, and more welcoming for everyone.
