Running an event or fundraiser for T&E Care

Past Special Events​

T&E Care at the Berwyn Farmer’s Market

We loved seeing so many folks on Sunday, August 25, 2024, when T&E Care volunteers were at the Berwyn Farmer’s Market!  We were the monthly charity for August, and had a chance to talk with lots of neighbors about T&E Care, plus we sold a bunch of raffle tickets! Don’t miss this great neighborhood resource!  It runs each Sunday from 10:00-1:00 – with lots of great food and local wares.  Check out the website each week to see what vendors will be there.

Come to 511 Old Lancaster Rd, Berwyn (in the Handles parking lot).  

Panera Bread Event for T&E Care – July 17, 2024

Thanks to all those who joined us at Panera Bread in Gateway Shopping Center on Wednesday, July 17!  There was a nice size crowd so we’re excited to lean what Panera’s donation will be.  (20% of all food sales that night will come back to T&E Care.)  We combined the event with a Fall Fest planning meeting which also worked out well.  It was a great location!  We are so thankful to Panera for offering this opportunity to us! 

Fun fact – when T&E Care was just starting almost 20 years ago, Panera was also just opening this store, and T&E Care got to be the organization for their “practice opening”!  It’s a special 20 year anniversary treat!

Thanks to all the Target voters!

We are very excited to share that T&E Care received 172,707 votes in the 2024 recent program, which will bring in over $5000 from Target!  What a huge difference this will make in our efforts to help our neighbors.  Thanks to all who took the time to vote for us!  This is really amazing!

Di Bruno Brothers and T&E Care

Thanks to all those who went to Di Bruno Bros in Wayne during the month of December 2023 to get a Cast Iron Pizza!  This was a yummy and easy fund raiser for us. We thank Di Bruno Bros for partnering with T&E Care in this fun endeavor! For every Cast Iron Pizza sold that month, Di Bruno Bros donated $1 to T&E Care!  Thank you so much to Di Bruno Brothers for their great support.

Mojo Fitness 2023 … thanks!!

Fun at the Berwyn Farmer’s Market

It was a pleasure to be at the Berwyn Farmer’s Market on Sunday, September 17, 2023 to showcase our organization, as well as the sponsors from our recent concert (that was canceled due to rain).  We thank these sponsors for believing in our efforts and hope that others will support them!

Thanks to organizers of the market for inviting us to participate.  We were thrilled to have the chance to talk with shoppers about what T&E Care does in the community. Thanks to Kirk and Sandi Gorman, Maryann Walsh, Molly Johnson, and Eileen Kraut for helping out at this event.

if you have never been to the Farmer’s Market – it was GREAT.  What a huge variety of goods to consider.  Go to their website and sign up for the weekly updates so you know who will be there each week.  It runs from 10-1 on Sundays and is located in the parking lot by Handels.

Life’s Patina Barn Sale for T&E Care – a great success!

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 in Malvern, PA, 1750 N.

Talbots Shopping Day for T&E Care – April 2017

The 2018 School Supply Drive …. We Are Live!

⇒CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.  THANKS!⇐

Once again T&E Care is organizing a School Supply Drive to help area kids whose families struggle to buy the required supplies. Just like last year, we expect to be supporting over 200 local kids.That’s a lot of pencils and notebooks! We will be looking for help with the supplies and gift cards for each of the students we have on our lists. For the gift cards – if we offer a minimum of $25/child that means over $5000 in gift cards.  These cards are used to help kids get some extra things like new shoes, new underclothes or socks, new shirts or jeans, etc.  Sometimes it’s all about making sure they have money for healthy recess snacks.  This program allows the community to help our local kids feel good about the start of the new school year.  Again this year FLITE will be helping us to fund the book bags needed for the students, so those will not be on the lists.  We’ll be looking for specific supplies as requested by the TESD staff.

You can help out by sponsoring a student(s), getting bulk items, or donating cash or gift cards. Collections will run from July 5-22.  Our website will be listing the specific items needed.

• SIGN-UP GENIUS: Again this year we are using Sign-up Genius to list the items needed, so you will not need to check with us before you go shopping!  We have posted the specific student sponsor lists and bulk needs, so your offers will be immediately reflected on that site.  You will be able to see what’s available in real time, decide what you want to offer, and head to the stores.
• SPONSORING A STUDENT: On the Sign-Up Genius page there will be a list of students (grades/genders, not names) to be sponsored. Please note the Generic School Supply Lists provided on this page are different than those on the schools’ websites. Please buy only what is on our Generic School Supply List.  (You can just deliver your items in a reusable bag.  No backpacks needed.)
• BULK SUPPLIES: There will also be a short list of bulk supplies on the Sign-Up Genius that you may donate to the drive. You can purchase all of one (or more) items, or just a small handful or anything in between.
• GIFT CARDS: If you get gift cards (see below for more details on these) along with supplies – you can just include them with the supplies for drop-off.  Be sure to note this on the donation check-list so we know to dig them out of the bag (we give them separately to the parents).  And do put them IN the bag, as the drop-off locations are public places.  We just want to be sure they aren’t too obvious.
• DONATION CHECK-LIST: Please fill out the T&E Care DONATION CHECK-LIST (download from this page) and include it with your donations to help us make record keeping and thank you notes easier.  We need one DONATION CHECK-LIST from each donor.
• DROP OFF LOCATIONS: Public drop off sites are Play It Again Sports (Rte 30 in Berwyn) and the Tredyffrin Library. Please drop items off ONLY when these places are open. If neither of these locations work for you – let us know.
• DEADLINE: The final day to drop off all items is Sunday, July 22. Sorting will be done at Conestoga High School on Thursday, July 26.
• QUESTIONS: If you have any questions, please contact us at schoolsupplies@tecare.org.

Hate To Shop?  Donations and Gift Cards Are VERY Helpful, Too!
