SPECIAL NEEDS FOR LOCAL FAMILIES
If you have the ability to help with any of these VERY important needs for a few of our local families - please click below for more details:
4/3/08 - we have just learned about a huge fire at an apartment complex in Malvern that has caused a number of families to be homeless - we are gathering details and will let you know if there are ways we can help out. If you have any furniture available - hold onto it! We may very well be asking for things in the near future! More to come.... (update on 5/1/08 - still no word on any specific needs. We will use the money raised at our recent events to help out some of the families - when we get more details we'll pass them on.)
2/4/08 - (updated 5/1/08) - Some local families are still in desperate need ofcars. If you have a car you would be willing to donate and/or sell at a very reasonable rate, please check the transportation needs page for more details.
Computer needs - Computers and printers always needed!!

Used Sports Equipment NeededStart saving your old (and no longer needed) sports equipment and sports clothing. Large exercise equipment will work as well. T&E Care will be collecting these items from May 18-31. Play It Again Sports will then buy the items from us! Your donations will be tax deductible, and you'll be helping a great cause. What an easy way to support T&E Care!
So clean out your closets or basement or garage and donate used gloves or bats, field hockey or lacrosse sticks, cleats and ice skates. Bring in those weights you no longer use. We'll take anything that is sports related and in good condition. Go to the Special Events page for donation locations and contact information.

Do you have something you’d like to get rid of and would like to sell on eBay or Craig’s List but don’t know how? T&E Care can help by doing the work and receiving the sale proceeds, while you get the tax deduction and a good chance to clean out your stuff! Please contact us if you are interested. The eBay/Craig's List page includes a list of items we will and will not work with - so please check that out before contacting us.
Please note that the eBay/Craig's List page also includes the list of items currently being sold - so if you are a shopper - check us out!

| Tired of trying to come up with just the right gift for someone?
Tired of giving "stuff" just because you want "something" to hand to a
friend? If you would prefer to give a friend or family member an
alternative gift - we have just the program for you! Check
out our new Gift Donation Form
and "order" items that can be used to help local families. You make the
donation to T&E Care and we'll send you cards that you can give to
your friends acknowledging your donation in their honor. This program is available all year round - not just at the holidays in December. Good for birthdays, mother's day, or just to say thanks to someone special. Much less
stress on your part - and much more useful gift for everyone involved. |
HELP ALWAYS NEEDED WITH ...
|
- Any general cash donation or pledge for a future donation would always appreciated. General gift cards can also be used at any time (grocery stores, all purpose stores, general VISA cards, etc.) See our donation page for more details.
PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS ABOUT T&E CARE ! WE CAN ALWAYS USE MORE HELP!
|  EXCITING
NEWS: WE HAVE JUST ADDED A DIRECT LINK TO A WEBSITE THROUGH WHICH YOU
CAN BUY GIFT CARDS AND HAVE THEM SENT DIRECTLY TO US. We have also set
this up so any purchases of gift cards made through our site will give
T&E Care 7% cash back! It's a great opportunity to help in two ways
at the same time! Get more info on the DONATE page.

Many THANKS for the recent donations .... |
- 5/20/0 - Many thanks to Susan Randels and the staff of Polka Dots, a specialty clothing store in the Paoli Shopping Center, for organizing the recent week-long event to support T&E Care. It was a great way to get the word out about T&E Care and raise some extra money to help local families. Thanks to all those who stopped by the store during this week.
- 4/12/08 - Wow - the community really stepped up and the stores in Paoli were awesome. Many thanks to The Blue Tulip, Polka Dots, Chico's, Julie's Gold Ribbon, Terra Culture, Van Cleve Collection, Robinson's Luggage, Paoli Hardware, Talbots, Paoli Nails, and Gentlemen's Choice for participating in this event, and to all those community members who went shopping that day! A very special thanks to the TE North MOMS club for organizing this event on behalf of T&E Care!
- 4/9/08 - An incredible thank you to the staff at Panera Bread in Gateway Shopping Center for hosting our "thank you to the community" dinner on April 5. This event was totally free for us - Panera Bread covered all costs related to this dinner as their way to give their staff practice before their official opening on April 7. The staff was so nice, and the food was delicious. Thanks to the over 200 people who attended as well. AND special thanks to those in attendance for their very generous donations (over $1200) that will be given to families effected by the recent apartment fire in Malvern. (Please note that Panera will have a donation box at their counter for T&E Care for the entire year - and they will match all donations with 25¢ for each $1. What a great way to increase your donations!)
- 3/18/08 - A huge thanks to all those who attended the Good Sports benefit on March 15 (and thanks to those who could not attend but sent in donations anyway!). It was a great night out! Special thanks to the Good Sports committee who selected T&E Care to receive this special recognition!
Additional thanks for past donations are found on the THANKS! page.
