Charity Information

Here's a recycled post from back in January...

This year we are planning our fundraising efforts to benefit the following organizations:

Gatehouse Shelter in Danville - a homeless shelter in Danville that seems to be chronically underfunded and in need of financial assistance.

AGAPE (Bloomsburg) - they have "an on-going mission to serve people in need throughout our area." Their "goal is to 'fill in the gaps' which currently exist between people in need, and the community services available to assist them." Also, they provided a lot of assistance to the victims of flooding in fall 2011.

Centre County Women's Resource Center - "It is the mission of the CCWRC to empower survivors of sexual or domestic violence, and to work toward the elimination of such violence..."

Easter Seals of Central Pennsylvania - "...provides services to more than 2,600 adults and children with physical disabilities and developmental delays, including individuals affected by conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida and traumatic brain injury (TBI)."

Church World Service, Lancaster - "...serves the refugee and immigrant communities of Central Pennsylvania."

We are also planning to make donations of non-perishable food items to the Danville-Riverside Food Bank. We will post information soon about what types of items you should bring with you to donate to the food bank.
