We were lucky to get our hands on a few insanely delicious cupcakes from Sarah Jane’s Cupcakes in Emmaus.
Sarah Jane is currently a student at Emmaus High School!
You’ll learn more about her entrepreneurial spirit in the next episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, but first… let’s taste test.
Dahlia was gracious enough to sample a few, and this is what happened!”
The 2020 Virtual Bethlehem City Christmas Tree Lighting, a Lehigh Valley with Love Media project, was recently featured in the LA Times.
The article highlighted Bethlehem and surrounding Lehigh Valley areas’ holiday fansticness. We’re beyond proud to have been a part of this project that showcases one of the most beautiful cities in the United States!
Take a look at the video and read the article!
Oh and Facebook video here…
This year, however, things were a bit different. With social distancing measures in place at the Bethlehem Mounted Police Stables on Langhorne Ave, and a limited group, the Tree Toss went virtual this year, raising a record $2,690 for Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley.
People can still donate at this link.
While we couldn’t hold the Christmas Tree Toss in person this year, we were able to team up with More Miles Automotive and the Bethlehem Mounted Police Unit to throw a ceremonial toss as we continue to raise money for Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley.
Thank you to everyone involved in keeping this tradition alive.
PLEASE DONATE here: https://t.co/bHr4bBBFh3?amp=1 Help More Miles Automotive meet or exceed the amount that they raised last year, which was $1,800.
The money raised from this event helps us to continue provide our life-saving services for domestic intimate partner abuse survivors. Since the pandemic, we have seen a humongous increase in the need for our services – 24/7 helpline, emergency safe house shelter, empowerment counseling, and legal advocacy for PFA (Protection From Abuse) orders.

A portion of proceeds from every face mask sold will go to Cancer Support Community Greater Lehigh Valley. Find out more about this wonderful organization.

Congratulations to Kelcie Kosberg Warmkessel, the winner of our “Name Our Beer” contest in conjunction with Weyerbacher Brewing Company to benefit Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley.
Kelcie’s design, “Compassion Double IPA” won out of more than a dozen submissions. The decision wasn’t easy, Kelcie’s design incorporated what many of us are trying to convey during these uncertain times.
The Bethlehem Chamber, Downtown Bethlehem Association, Southside Arts District and Community Action Development Corporation of Bethlehem have come together to launch the #BacktoBethlehem campaign as their counties move to the Yellow Phase.
This campaign is all about preparing both the merchants and the community for getting back to business. “We want to make sure our business community is equipped with all the information and supplies they need in order to safely re-open.” said Tammy Wendling, Downtown Bethlehem Association Manager.
In addition to making sure merchants are ready, Missy Hartney, Southside Arts District Downtown Manager says “it’s extremely important to make sure the community knows what expectations there will be for them as customers as well as making them feel comfortable with coming back out to support these small businesses.”
Bethlehem merchants have been asked to take the Vow of the Valley, launched by the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. Those who sign the online vow, will receive a “Back to Bethlehem” graphic to use on social media and their website. This will let the community know these businesses took a pledge to protect their health and safety during this re-opening phase.
In addition to the Vow of the Valley, this task force partnered with Lehigh Valley with Love Media to create a video encouraging the community to come out and support Bethlehem businesses in the yellow phase.
As seen in the video, DLP Real Estate Capital and South Carolina based, SC Health generously donated 10,000 masks to the Bethlehem business community to ensure the safety of both employees and customers.
For more information on this campaign and to take the Vow of the Valley visit : www.lehighvalleychamber.org/backtobethlehem
Weyerbacher Brewing Company, along with Lehigh Valley with Love Media, have teamed up to create a brew to help benefit Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley.
There’s one catch. Well, two. We need a name and a logo.
No, we’re not being lazy, we just thought it’d be a lot more fun to have the design come from the people of the Lehigh Valley who have been quarantined for three months.
Use #NameOurBeerLV on social media or just comment on this post on Facebook or Instagram. We’ll pick one of them and you’ll be given credit.
If you’d like to submit a logo, make up a name and logo and head to this link: https://forms.gle/dcXJfPoy1HbiTjzS6
One winner will receive $100 from us and a Weyerbacher gift card.
This contest ends on June 17 and then we’ll use the logo in promotion as well as the name, always giving credit to the original winners.
Thank you for helping and supporting Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley!
