To the Community:

The Luminaria Fundraiser will be beginning very soon! If you are new to the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, you may not have heard about this important community tradition, which primarily supports the ABC Strath Haven house in Swarthmore, as well as other students in need from WSSD. The effort of dozens of volunteers culminates in a beautiful display of curbside luminaria the evening of January 1, 2020.

The Luminaria Fundraiser Committee is very busy getting everything ready so that we can launch this wonderful event. We have, however, noticed that a few areas are short of a Block Captain. A Block Captain takes orders from, and helps distribute the orders to, a small range of addresses. The Swarthmore blocks without a Captain are:

  • 1-7 Swarthmore Place

  • 1-15 Crest Lane

  • 603-723 Hillborn Ave

  • 500-599 Ogden Ave

  • 200-399 Yale Ave

  • 400-599 Yale Ave

  • 400-499 Haverford Place

  • 500-699 Fairview Road

If you live in any of these areas and are willing to help, please contact luminariasupport@abcstrathhaven.org. For more information about ABC, go to www.abcstrathhaven.org.
