The Geiter family adopted both of their sons through Pressley Ridge’s foster-to-adopt program in Lancaster and subsequently participated in post-permanency services. Their oldest son Branden was working towards earning his Eagle Scout Award, and the final assignment was to plan, organize and lead a community service project. He knew immediately that he wanted to help kids in the foster care system, and Branden wanted to give back to the agency that had connected him with his forever family.
The Geiters were very supportive of Branden’s ambition and provided just enough guidance to get their son’s wheels turning. He wanted kids who walked through the doors of Pressley Ridge to have a little joy during a potentially dark and confusing time. The final result was updates to the group room at the Lancaster office, including a new bookshelf with many age-appropriate books and a sensory table for play that includes animals, Legos, beads and sand.
