18th Annual Kaleidoscope Download a flyer and registration form
Theme: Exploring the Lincoln Highway: Driving for Hope
Living in eastern Pennsylvania means traveling the Lincoln Highway! And that brings adventure! Since 1913 the Lincoln Highway has served as a “bridge” between communities. We celebrate this famous route in our 20th anniversary year as it connects the two counties where we serve homeless families.
Join this ever-popular event to explore the history of this famous route, the first toll-free, trans-continental highway across our country, stretching from Times Square, NY, through Chester and Lancaster counties and onto to San Francisco!
