Stepping Stones & Person-to-Person to Provide FREE Memberships

During the season of giving, Stepping Stones Museum for Children is partnering with local non-profit Person-to-Person to provide families in need with FREE museum memberships. For every Get One, Give One membership purchased or renewed by December 31st, Stepping Stones will get a membership into the hands (and hearts) of a deserving family in lower Fairfield County. The families will be able to enjoy all of the membership’s benefits, including free admission for a year and invitations to fun family events.

“We’ve worked closely with Person-to-Person over the years on toy collections, clothing drives and volunteer efforts,” said Rhonda Kiest, President and CEO of Stepping Stones. “The organization’s work is closely aligned with the Stepping Stones mission to create an environment that enhances a child’s understanding of the world, inspires lifelong learning, and supports parents, caregivers and educators as facilitators of their children's exploration.”

With locations in Norwalk and Darien, Person-to-Person provides emergency assistance for basic needs plus other support to individuals and families as they move toward financial stability. The nonprofit envisions communities of financially-stable, hunger-free homes, with educational opportunities for all.

Kiest notes that 125 memberships have already been donated through the holiday Get One, Give One program. “There are over 5,000 families in the Stepping Stones community and we are thrilled to welcome all the new families. In addition to helping a local family, a membership makes a great gift that friends and family will love.”
