About A Way To Help
Too often it can be easy to miss the needs happening right here in our own backyard. Whether it’s a need for a week’s food/groceries due to an unexpected circumstance (like job loss or illness), help with making a one-time payment for heating, childcare, or a medical bill, money for a school uniform, sports equipment, musical instruments, or even help with funding for gifts for holidays/birthdays for children, with A Way To Help we hope to meet these needs of our local kids and families — no matter how small the needs are. Sometimes it can be tough to get help from larger organizations for these smaller needs, so this non-profit has been created as a way to help fill those gaps and address these needs right here at home within our own community.
our mission:
We believe in neighbors helping neighbors, and we believe that every child deserves a fulfilling and positive childhood. A Way To Help aims to create a safe space to share the needs of neighbors no matter how small, and uses funds gifted by fellow neighbors in our community to help address them. It’s a way we can can all pitch-in for each other; a way to make sure our kids don’t miss out on opportunities; a way for our community to better thrive; a way to help!
A Way To Help is a small-scale, non-religous/non-political/non-partisan and non-discriminatory non-profit. We are simply neighbors helping neighbors as we can here in Central PA.
