Donation Drive Helps Foster Children in Need

September 2nd, 2025

On behalf of Family Services of NW PA (Family Services) and all of the children, we are touched and extend our heartfelt thanks to Brighter Future Foundation for their incredible partnership and dedication to our shared mission uplifting the community. Their collaboration alongside Erie Otters Hockey, Port Erie Plastics, and Warren Company has made this return to school so much better for so many. The school supplies and other supplies will help the children begin their school year encouraged and prepared!

Through this joint effort, Brighter Future Foundation helped create opportunities that extend beyond the rink, factory, or office—building stronger connections within our region and bringing smiles to countless faces. We're proud to work with organizations that recognize the power of coming together for a greater cause.

"We're truly grateful for Brighter Future Foundation and the incredible community-minded companies they brought together," said Gregory Loop, President and CEO at Family Services. "Partnerships like this help drive real progress and remind us all what's possible when we unite for good."

Special thanks to:

  • Erie Otters Hockey for their ongoing support and community engagement.
  • Port Erie Plastics for their commitment to innovation and giving back.
  • Warren Company for their generosity and leadership in community initiatives.

Together, we're building a brighter future.
