Out in the Community/Events:

Kauffman Physical Therapy gives back to our community by holding casual days the last Friday of every month. Each month we pick a charity, our employees donate $5 allowing them to wear jeans on the last Friday of the month. If supplies are being collected, we put out a collection bin and employees and patients contribute donations.
All monies and items collected are then donated to our chosen charity for the month. Examples of charities that we have collected for in the past are: Lancaster Blind Association, Milagro House, The American Heart Association, March of Dimes, The American Cancer Society, The Lupus Foundation, Golden Gloves, MS Society, Breast Cancer Awareness, Mennonite Central Committee, Lancaster County Food Bank and many, many others! In early 2010 Kauffman and our patients filled 2 large barrels with food for the Lancaster County Food Bank!

What a great and fun way to give back to our community!

Relief Kits and Sewing Kits for the Mennonite Central Committee. 

Relief kits provide basic hygiene supplies to families forced from their homes by natural disaster or war. MCC shipped 2,000 relief kits to Nicaragua last fall after Hurricane Felix damaged homes in remote communities, displacing families to schools, churches and community centers. Relief kits have been sent to families in Iraq, Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, Honduras, and Venezuela.

In Haiti, sewing is a valued skill that can help support a family. Four seamstresses in the Central Plateau recently started teaching sewing after receiving MCC sewing kits. Around the world, these kits supply the basic tools people need to mend or make clothing.

Kauffman Physical Therapy collected supplies for Relief Kits and Sewing Kits and donated them to the MCC
