For the past seven months, Shine Story recipients have not only had their stories published in paychecks , but have received personal attention from KenCrest Services Executive Director. In his new role, Jim McFalls has made it a point to take all Shine Story recipents to lunch. He has traveled to staff all over the agency, from Wilmington, DE to Collegeville, to Bucks County, to Philadelphia to meet the last 12 Shine Story honorees.

Shine Stories are placed into each paycheck, and include a brief description of a hearwarming act by one of the staff. In 2009, the agency celebrated 10 years, and 250 Shine Stories.
