Start this morning knowing you’re exactly where you need to be. 🤲

Maybe today looks different than you expected. Maybe you’re waiting on an answer, walking through a challenge, or wondering what God is doing next.

Remember: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” — Psalm 37:23

You don’t have to see the whole path to trust the One who does.

Take the next step. Be faithful where God has placed you. Look for someone you can encourage, help, or simply remind that they are not alone.

God is already there—in this day, in this place, and in the moments ahead.

Have a blessed Monday, Erie. ❤️

Start this week knowing you are exactly where you’re meant to be. ❤

God created you for good works.
Maybe yours looks like giving.
Maybe it’s volunteering.
Maybe it’s donating equipment.
Maybe it’s opening your church to a neighbor in need.
Maybe it’s simply noticing the person in front of you and asking, “How can I help?”

You were made for more.
You were made for good works.
Let’s get equipped.

🏌️ ONE WEEK AGO, YOU WERE OUT ON THE GREEN FOR GOOD. 💚

We have the numbers—and WOW. What a community!

⛳ 28 four-person teams came out to play
🎟️ 27 raffle baskets were donated by our amazing community
🎁 2 larger items were also raffled
❤️ And together, you helped raise $15,538.88 for Chosen!

That’s more than $5,500 above last year’s $10,000, and every dollar helps us continue serving our neighbors with medical equipment, supplies, and the support they need to thrive.

To every golfer who played, every sponsor who invested, every business and individual who donated a raffle item, every volunteer who helped make the day happen, and everyone who simply showed up to support the mission:

THANK YOU.

Your generosity doesn’t just make a great golf tournament. It helps make wellness work for all 🙌

PEOPLE OF CHOSEN | Paul 🔧

You might see a wheelchair.

Paul sees a way to help someone get where they need to go.

For a looooong time, Paul has been one of the people behind the scenes at Chosen—putting in the hands-on work that turns donated equipment into something ready to serve again.

There’s a lot that happens before a piece of equipment reaches the person who needs it. There’s cleaning, sorting, inspecting, repairing, adjusting, problem-solving… and a whole lot of time and care.

Paul has been showing up for that work for years.

We’re grateful for volunteers like Paul who remind us that serving the One doesn’t always happen in the spotlight. Sometimes it happens at a workbench, with a toolbox in hand.

Thank you, Paul, for all the ways you continue to Serve the One. ❤️

New name. Same great PT!

✨ Celebrating Progress & a New Name! ✨

We’re so excited to celebrate Carrie and the progress she made after back surgery! She came to us looking for help with pain relief and strengthening, and we’re proud to say she was able to make great strides toward feeling stronger and more comfortable.

And we got an extra-special treat—Carrie brought some adorable little helpers with her to help us announce our NEW NAME!

We can’t wait to share more about this exciting new chapter with all of you! Stay tuned! 💙

WE NEED WHEELCHAIRS ♿️

Maybe it helped someone you love.
Maybe you no longer need it.
Maybe it’s been sitting in the garage.

Someone else may be waiting for it.

It doesn’t have to be new to be life-changing. Sometimes, what has already served one person can be renewed, restored, and given a new purpose in someone else’s story.

♿ Have a wheelchair to donate?
We’d love to put it back to work.

💙 Don’t have a wheelchair to donate?
Your financial gift can help us purchase one when the right equipment isn’t available through donations.
🔗 https://app.donorview.com/W6AAZ

Help us fill the gap.
Help someone find their way forward.

Because sometimes, a second life for a piece of equipment can mean a new beginning for a person.

💙 THANK YOU 🫵

Yesterday, 174 donors came together and raised $25,664 for Chosen through Erie Gives.

We may not have quite reached our goal of 180 donors, but we came incredibly close—and more importantly, we were reminded once again what happens when a community comes together to Serve the One.

To everyone who gave, shared, encouraged, watched our live videos, joined a Power Hour, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines:

Thank you. Truly.

Your generosity helps Chosen continue filling the gaps with purpose and possibility for people and families who need a little extra help along the way.

And if you missed Erie Gives yesterday, the opportunity to be part of this work doesn’t end here.

Our Equipped for Good Works campaign runs year-round, helping provide the resources Chosen needs to keep serving our neighbors throughout the year.

Erie showed up. And we’re so grateful. 💙

Thank you for helping us Serve the One.
