We know it's been a trying time for all of us these past 6 months. And we were just as disappointed as you when we weren't able to bring the Summer programs we normally do like Missoula Children's Theater, Set the Sun and Picnic in the Park. That's why we are working to set ourselves up for success in the future. If you are able and willing, we'd really appreciate your support tomorrow during Erie Gives. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., you can donate to locate nonprofits through www.eriegives.org and any donation received during those hours will receive a portion of it matched from the Erie Community Foundation. Every little bit helps. We greatly appreciate your support through the years, and look forward to bringing more joy to North East through our programming. Thank you all.

Over the past seven weeks, NEAC and local girl scout Norah Carver teamed up to provide crafts for children in place for picnic in the park. Here are some of their masterpieces.

Very exciting news for North East! We are proud to be a part of it.
