July Newsletter
Welcome
This week marks a special occasion for all of us at KINBER—our entire team is coming together for an on-site staff meeting.
In a world where virtual meetings and remote collaboration have become the norm, there’s something energizing about gathering face-to-face. These moments give us the opportunity to strengthen the relationships that power our work. It’s a chance to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and look ahead to what’s next with renewed focus.
Whether it’s diving into strategic discussions, sharing ideas across departments, or simply catching up over coffee, this week is about reinforcing the collaborative spirit that makes KINBER unique. We'll surely make the most of our time together.
- Nathan Flood
President & CEO, KINBER

Digital Skills Classes with Big Impact
The first cohort of 'Aging with Technology' class in Erie, PA, has wrapped! With support from the Erie Community Foundation and on-site instruction from Tech2Elevate, KINBER was able to provide 12 seniors with laptops, along with training on how to safely use their new computers. This is just the beginning! More Erie digital skills classes are scheduled over the next few months.
Class participant Margaret says "They're tolerant, patient. They go around if we need extra help they'll do it one on one... They're very accomodating." When asked if she would recommend this class to friends she says "Most definitely. Absolutely".
