“Ithink it has been an amazing experience for me and the kids,” said Kristin Inman of Elverson when describing her experience fostering cats for the Animal Rescue League of Berks County (ARL). “It is a great learning experience, a great way to find empathy and learn how to care for something. It fills our hearts.”
As part of the ARL foster program, individuals and families provide a temporary home for rescued animals until the cats or dogs can find their forever homes. The foster program not only frees up space at the shelter, but also provides individualized care to animals in need.
“Come summer and spring, the shelters are so crowded and are overflowing (with adoptable animals). It is not an ideal environment for animals. If you have it in your heart to foster, it is great for any animal who gets to be in a foster home over a shelter,” Inman said, adding that fostering is also a way to determine if the family is ready for a pet. “If you think you might want an animal - a cat or dog - fostering is way to learn if you are really up for the responsibility.”
Inman and her two children, Garrett and Josie, are currently fostering Tiny, an 11-year-old cat that was brought to the ARL when her owner was no longer able to care for her. “She is considered a senior cat, but I think cats, especially indoor cats, can live 18 to 20 years,” Inman noted. “A lot of people want kittens, so it is hard for older cats to get adopted.”
She said that Tiny would make

Boone Area Library announces new programming
BY FRANCINE FULTON
While Boone Area Library in Birdsboro offers story time for children, activities for teenagers, book clubs and special events like Teen Movie Night, it has now added a new offering for adults, called Coffee and Conversations.
The group meets on the second Friday of each month from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
The first session of the new program, led by Amber Hamel,
the library’s youth program coordinator, was held on Jan. 10. She noted that each gathering will feature coffee and snacks, as well as an activity and a time for discussion.
“Each one will be different,” she said. “Next month we will do collaging, and I have us signed up for an AI speaker who will talk about AI technology. We are also signed up to go bird watching in French Creek State Park in April.”

an ideal pet because she is good with kids and other cats. “Everybody wants kittens because kittens are fun and adorable, but I found with this latest foster is that the senior cats are sometimes more enjoyable,” noted Inman, adding that the ARL provides a discount for those who adopt senior pets. “They are fairly set in their ways. They know what they want.”
“Tiny loves love. She loves to be petted,” Inman added. “She would make a phenomenal companion cat. She is the most playful of all our cats, which is another surprise because I thought seniors cats didn’t play.”
In addition to Tiny, the family has two pet cats, Mack and Fiddler, a “foster fail.” “We got Mack from the Brandywine Valley SPCA. I thought he might need
a friend,” Inman recalled. “I didn’t want to just get a cat and not know how they would get along, so I signed up to foster through the ARL.”
First, the family fostered three 3-month-old kittens. “Our job was to socialize them, meaning that they were very spicy kittens. They would not let people near them,” said Inman. “They wanted people to work with them closely to get them ready for adoption.”
“They stayed with us for about three months. Two of them got adopted at once, and we decided to keep the third - Fiddler,” she added.
Next, the family fostered four black kittens that were only a week old. “The next group of kittens we got were friendly. They were part of a litter of seven,”
Inman said. “It was so fun, but so much work. We had them for several months because they (weighed) a pound and we had to help them gain weight so they could be fixed. They flourished.”
She said it was hard for the family to give up the kittens because they became attached. “They started to recognize us as family, and it broke my heart,” she said. “My mother adopted one of the black kittens, and we get to see her. She doesn’t remember us, which made me feel better (about releasing them to their permanent homes).”
She said that fostering benefits not only adoptable animals, but the foster family as well. “Fostering is amazing because you get to really get a sense of the animal’s personality,
and it’s fun to see all the different personalities,” Inman stated. “Here, they have love 24/7. I work from home, and I take ‘cat breaks’ to cuddle with them. They are also great emotional support.”
For more information about the foster program and to complete an application, visit www.berksarl .org/foster. Those interested in adopting Tiny may make an appointment to meet her by emailing adoption@berksarl.org.

Year-end report reflects food pantry’s service to the community
BY FRANCINE FULTON
The Honey Brook Food Pantry continues to serve people in need through its food distributions, programs and services, while being supported by the community through its many donations.
In a year-end report, Ken Ross, pantry director, noted that while the need for food and services increased in 2024, so did the number and quality of donations. “The need was unprecedented and so was the generosity. The generosity met the need,” Ross stated. “The demand was off the charts - the amount of people (we served) and the amount of stuff we gave out - but the donations were terrific.”
and accessories like hats and gloves were offered during each of the November and December distributions. In December, clients received toys for the children along with the holiday turkey dinner. “We gave away 600 coats (plus) 1,800 toys,” Ross said.
According to the report, the pantry supports more than 350 families each month, totaling nearly 1,200 individuals, including about 400 children and 200 senior citizens. “We have registered 145 new families (in 2024),” Ross noted.
Boone Area Library
The guest speaker for the first session was storyteller Pat Babel, who was on hand to talk about her new program, Rocking Chair Pilgrimage, which will be offered at the library from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month beginning on Feb. 20.
Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. | PO Box 500, Mount Joy, PA 17552 TOWNLIVELY.COM
This year, the pantry gave out complete holiday meals for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. “We (previously) did one combined event between Thanksgiving and Christmas because we could not handle (distributing) that many turkeys in three weeks,” Ross noted. “So we gave out hams for Thanksgiving and turkey for Christmas. This is the first time we have done both.”
In addition, winter coats
Other pantry initiatives include its Backpack Program, which provides weekend food to between 100 and 130 children. This past summer, nearly 200 backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed. The pantry also offers formula and other essential items as part of its Infant Through Age 4 Program, as well as free clothing provided by the Anchored Ministries Clothing Closet.
The pantry’s distributions are typically held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To be eligible to receive food distributions and other benefits, clients must be residents of the Twin Valley School District and meet income requirements.
In addition to nonperishable food, clients receive fresh meat, dairy and produce products, as well as personal hygiene items. On-site resources, designed to help pantry clients achieve independence, include employment assistance, legal aid, medical and dental

“Amber invited me today to tell people about (the program),” said Babel. “We’re going to see how that time slot goes, and we will change it (if necessary).”
Babel held a similar group that met at Daniel Boone Area High School. She plans to utilize the same format at the library. “There will be an introduction, and we will start with a realization or meditation, then a reading of poetry. Then I will tell a story,” she explained, noting that the rocking chair image reflects a place where people feel safe and comfortable.
The story will be based on a theme, and attendees will be invited to share their stories as well. For February, the theme will be love. “Other people can … remember a story from their past and share that story,” Babel said. “With February being love stories, that can encompass anything and everything you can think of.”
Shoes & Boots For The Whole Family
prices on all of the latest styles for men, women & kids.
She said that all attendees will be given an opportunity to share a story, with a time of contemplation between each speaker. “If you look through the journey of your life, it’s one sacred place after another, and it brings you to having many stories to tell about all these different places and events and things and people you have loved,” she shared, quoting J. D. Salinger, who said, “All we do our whole lives is go from one little piece of holy ground to the next.”
Babel said she began telling stories to her sister and brother at a young age. “I loved telling them stories,” she said. “I knew I wanted to be a storyteller.”
Later in life, she attended storytelling workshops to perfect her craft. She recalled a particular event where attendees were asked to tell a story about a time in their life when they were so afraid to do something, but they did it anyway. “The room was full of laughter and tears, and I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great for our community if we did something like this more frequently where people could hear each other?’” she recalled. Babel hopes to generate the same response during the upcoming library program. “The tellers were magical, and they touched our hearts,” she said.

students in kindergarten through grade 12 were invited to create an original piece of art to show their appreciation for law enforcement.
Anna’s winning photo, which she completed with markers, depicts a police car traveling along a road along with a written message that reads, “Dear police officers. Thank you for keeping us safe!”
For winning the firsttime competition held this past summer, Anna received a certificate of recognition, a photo with Chester County Sheriff Kevin D. Dykes and a tour of his office, as well as a gift basket filled with art supplies. Anna, 8, was accompanied to the sheriff’s office by her parents, Jennifer and Jonathan Zerbe, and her sister, Elizabeth Zerbe.
“During her tour, Anna loved seeing the patrol vehicles and motorcycles,” said Noah Stribrny, command staff liaison of the sheriff’s office, who developed the idea to hold the art contest as a community outreach.
Jennifer said she read about the contest in a July edition of the Community Courier. “I told (Anna)
from
pg 1
about it, and she wanted to do it,” she said. “She loves to draw, and I think she was motivated by the chance to tour the sheriff’s office.”
Since the summer’s art competition was such a success, Stribrny has announced that the sheriff’s office will hold a spring art competition with the theme “My Favorite Things in Chester County!” Students may use pencil, ink, markers, colored pencils or paint to create their work.
The contest is open to students in kindergarten through grade 12. Once again, the prizes will include a tour of the sheriff’s office, a certificate from the sheriff and a photo with the sheriff. The winning artwork will be displayed in the lobby of the Chester County Sheriff’s Office in West Chester.
For complete rules and submission details, visit www.chesco.org/5569/ Student-Art-Compe tition or scan the QR code at www.facebook.com/ ccsopa. Those with questions can email Stribrny at nstribrny@chesco.org. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, May 7.
Marketplace forms; information for all deductions and credits, including child care costs with the provider’s tax ID number; and a copy of last year’s return if available. When dropping off a return, three forms must be completed. A volunteer will check the paperwork and scan the documents. Returns will be filed electronically. To get a head start on the forms, visit www.chester countyfreetaxes.org, look under “For Tax Filers” and click on “Intake Forms.” Refunds will be available by direct deposit. People may also file for free at the aforementioned website. For more information, call 610-380-9099.
services and utility support. New offerings include transportation information, flu shots, vision testing, haircuts and assistance with Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as well as the Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC).
Ross said that distributions go on despite winter cold or inclement weather conditions. “Volunteers
who supply information to the clients are inside, but the actual distributions are outside,” he said, noting that tents and portable propane heaters provide some relief from the elements. “We had some nasty rainy days in October and November, but we have a tough crew.”
Those who would like to help out the pantry may consider holding a food drive or making a
financial donation. “Food collections are always helpful. We have a list of what is preferable,” Ross said. “But there are things we can only get with cash - dairy, produce, meat, specialty food for kids and infants and (those with diabetes). Food drives are great, especially if they follow our list, but what is better is financial donations because we use it for those things.”
The end-of-year report concludes with some of the pantry’s success stories. “Despite emergencies and difficult living conditions, we’ve seen notable successes,” Ross stated. “The two largest families we’ve seen for years, (with) eight and nine members, have
achieved financial stability and no longer want or require our assistance. A long-term participant earned a bachelor’s degree through VA benefits. Two single mothers who registered last Christmas are now employed and receiving college tuition support from their employers, with one making the dean’s list.”
