The Glenside St. Patrick’s Day Association recognized the Freed Givnish Funeral Home in Glenside as a $5,000 Emerald Circle Sponsor for the 2026 Glenside St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival.

“Freed Givnish has been a trusted part of our community for generations, providing compassionate support and meaningful services for local families when they need it most,” the association said in a post. “Their generosity helps make this parade possible and keeps this tradition strong in Glenside.”

“The Givnish family has been giving back for over 100 years,” John Givnish said. “This is what we do. We’re a fabric of the community.”
