• Kindness Project unveils new mobile boutique to serve foster care community (wfmz.com) — An Emmaus-based nonprofit, The Kindness Project, has launched a new mobile boutique to better serve foster children and teens who can’t easily reach its Emmaus store. The Kindness Express truck will collect donations around the Lehigh Valley, then transform into a traveling shopping space so older youth in group homes can choose essential items with dignity. Local partners are invited to host “stuff the truck” drives. 
• Lehigh Valley boys basketball: KJ Coles scores 28, but Parkland hands Pocono Mountain West its first loss (mcall.com) — Emmaus boys basketball edged East Stroudsburg North 53–49, led by Noeah Newsome’s four threes and 15 points as the Green Hornets improved to 2–5.
