PRIMROSE — Schuylkill United Way’s 2027 Campaign raised $1,149,196 , surpassing last year’s total and supporting its Partner Agency programs and services throughout the coming year. The organization announced the results during its Annual Appreciation Breakfast at St. Nicholas Hall in Primrose, where donors, volunteers and businesses were recognized during United Way’s 90th year of service. The campaign is named for the year its funds are used, meaning contributions pledged during 2026 will support programs and services in 2027. “We are over the moon with the effort and generosity that this number holds,” said Campaign Chair Andrew Umphrey, a business banking relationship manager at M&T Bank. United Way Board President Mark Mikita credited the campaign’s success to the community’s longstanding willingness to help its neighbors. “We always pull together when there’s a need and this campaign is no different,” Mikita said. Joe Bessette Receives Lifetime Achievement Award Among the breakfast’s top honorees was Joe Bessette, maintenance area manager at the Wegmans Retail Service Center at Highridge, who received the Billie Payne Lifetime Achievement Award.

Danville Child Development Center to celebrate playground reopening

Danville, Pa. — Danville Child Development Center will celebrate the reopening of its renovated playground with a community celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The event at 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, titled “DCDC’s Biggest FEAT for DCDC’s Littlest FEET!”, is open to families, friends, alumni, community supporters and project partners. The Columbia-Montour Chamber of Commerce will take part in the ribbon-cutting at 986 Wall Street. Children and teachers at the Wall Street location have been unable to use the playground for three years while the renovation was underway, the center said. “This project has been three years in the making, and seeing it finally come together is truly monumental for our center. For the past three years, our teachers have not been able to take the children out to the playground, and that is something we have all missed. Outdoor play is such an important part of early childhood development. It gives children the opportunity to explore, build friendships, develop new skills and simply enjoy being kids. This reopening means so much to our children, but it also means a great deal to our teachers and staff, who have patiently waited alongside them for this day. We are incredibly excited to
