East Penn Neighbors Helping Neighbors continues to be an organization St. John’s Outreach Committee is trying to support and help. There are many families in our local community who need help right now, including those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. As the community continues to feel the effects of the COVID pandemic, these families desperately need our help.
East Penn Neighbors Helping Neighbors has a simple mission: to serve the families in our local community who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless through multi-faceted short-term assistance in order to help restore and sustain healthy, independent living. A family is welcomed into the temporary transitional housing, and EPNHN volunteers with the skills to help meet the family’s needs form a support team for the family. This model is proving successful, having helped transition several families into places of greater independence! If you can’t join us for ice cream, those who wish to financially support this initiative can:
- Send a check to:
