2024 Holiday Drive Information
The 2024 T&E Care Holiday Drive is almost here! This is our chance to bring some holiday cheer to some local families who could use a pick-me-up! The Sign-up Genius will be available to the community from November 14 to December 6. Many more details can be found on our HOLIDAY DRIVE page.
Join us at Life’s Patina this November
Life’s Patina is run by a local entrepreneur, Meg Veno, who has made a business out of gathering old items and refurbishing them, then sells them at a seasonal barn sale. On their website they say: We believe in the power of making special memories by designing thoughtful and intentional celebrations and gatherings for both family and friends. The barn is located at the Willowbrook Farm, 1750 N. Valley Rd, in Malvern, PA,
They are hosting a barn sale on November 22-24** and a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to T&E Care’s Holiday Drive!! Hooray!

T&E Care Fall Fest 2024
WHAT A NIGHT!
The 17th annual T&E Care Fall Fest was held at Waynesborough Country Club on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 6pm-10pm. Be the KEY was an engaging night of fun with community members across the Tredyffrin and Easttown areas. With close to 200 people in attendance – the rooms were full of lots of chatter and excitement. It was a perfect night! Waynesborough did a great job with the set up and food. The Philly Keys, featuring Brian Aglira (Conestoga Class of 2002), were fantastic with their dueling piano showdown fueled by audience participation. And Adam Joseph from 6ABC couldn’t have been a better emcee. Check out our Fall Fest page for lots of photos and details.
Be the KEY was an unforgettable night of music, a fun raffle, great food and drinks, and one-of-a-kind entertainment that will benefit an even better cause. We well exceeded our budget of $85,000 – which is really exciting! Thanks thanks thanks for your support!
