The Breathing Room Foundation of Elkins Park was featured by 6ABC for giving away hundreds of backpacks full of school supplies to families in need.

“We’re sure to listen to the family’s needs…we’re able to be flexible in the support that we give, whether it’s financial support to pay a bill, whether it’s home cooked meals, yard work…transportation to treatment, whatever it might be that solves their needs that they can have a little time to breathe,” Mary Ellen Fitzgerald, Executive Director, told 6ABC.
