Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 5th annual Feast of the Senses & Auction Fundraiser — a truly unforgettable evening dedicated to supporting youth mental wellness in Lancaster County. This one-of-a-kind, immersive event took guests on a journey through the five senses with interactive culinary stations, signature cocktails, and a powerful program that connected each experience to the heart of Touchstone Foundation’s mission.
As guests saw, heard, felt, smelled, and tasted their way through a thoughtfully curated menu, they also learned how their support directly uplifts youth mental health initiatives in our community.
Thanks to your generosity, we are transforming lives. Funds raised support direct services like copay assistance, scholarship programs, and mental health workforce development — all part of our vision to ensure every child and youth in Lancaster County experiences mental wellness.
We’re thrilled to share that together, we raised over $104,000 and counting to support local youth mental health initiatives. Your generosity ensures that we can continue to build momentum and deepen the impact of our mission throughout the community.
Because of your support, we’re able to expand access to care, invest in the next generation of mental health professionals, and empower youth through our transformative programs.
The success of our inaugural event has inspired us to begin planning for an even more powerful Feast of the Senses in 2026. We invite you to be part of our next inspiring event — as a guest, a sponsor, or a volunteer — and help elevate the mental well-being of youth throughout Lancaster County.
