On your next visit to the Tree House, you will see - AND HEAR - something new! Several bells, chimes, and drums have been added to the playground in memory of Carol Kurl, a founding Tree House Board member, church member, handbell player, and music lover who passed away in the fall of 2024. It is our hope that families will enjoy making music together when they visit the playground! ❤️🔔🥁🌳

Beginning June 1st, the Tree House will be TEMPORARILY CLOSED for resealing of the rubber playground surface. From approximately Monday-Friday, there will be NO ACCESS TO THE PLAYGROUND.

The soft rubber surface is one of the design features that allows the Tree House to be accessible for kids of all abilities. Periodic resealing is necessary to keep the surface in a safe condition for all playground users.

We will post another announcement when the playground is ready to reopen!

Sharing! 🧡☀️

Summer is fast approaching and the Hub is excited to share that we are launching a brand new initiative: a Free Summer Lunch program for children who qualify for free/reduced lunch in the Warwick community!

Right now, around 1000 students currently receive free/reduced lunches at school here in the Warwick School District. But when school ends for the summer, that support pauses - but for many families, the need does not.

As part of our mission to connect our community to needed resources, we have decided to step into that gap and pilot a weekly bagged lunch distribution, making free lunches available to local children who need them. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous sponsor in our community, we’re able to start the program in mid-June.

Each child signed up for the program will receive three (3) bagged lunches each Wednesday filled with easy-to-prepare food items. The program will run on Wednesdays from June 17 to August 19, with pickup times from 12:00-12:30PM, and pickup locations at either:
🍎 The Warwick Community Hub office (165 Front St. Lititz)
🍎 The pavilion at the Warwick Township Lions Park in Rothsville. (25 Church St. Lititz)

If your children qualify for free/reduced lunch and this program could be helpful for your family, please visit Warwick-hub.org/lunch to register!

Come join us for the Free Community Picnic on Wednesday, May 20 at 6:00 pm at the Lititz Church of the Brethren pavilion next to the Tree House of Lititz playground! The community is invited; there is no charge for the meal but there is an opportunity to donate. In case of rain, the meal will be in the Family Life Center (enter the rear of the church). The meal is being co-hosted by the church and the Tree House Playground. Lititz Church of the Brethren is located at 300 West Orange Street.

Celebrate the end of the school year... with a sub!
The Tree House of Lititz is partnering with R & K Subs for a "SCHOOL'S OUT" SUB SALE FUNDRAISER. Place your orders NOW THROUGH MAY 24th using the link to our online storefront: https://tinyurl.com/subsale26
Subs will be available for pickup on June 2nd from 1:00-3:30 at the pavilion next to the Tree House (or after-hours by appointment). We know that graduations, concerts, recitals, and packing for family vacations make for a busy start to summer break - so why not make an easy dinner choice and support the playground at the same time!
