  • We work with our 57 Funded Partners to find ways we can help strengthen struggling individuals and families living in Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder, and Union Counties.

    From gardening and painting to data entry and organizing, there is always a need for a willing volunteer to step in and brighten someone’s day!
