Empowering families through local assistance and resources

East Penn Neighbors Helping Neighbors offers essential community programs aimed at providing immediate assistance to families in need. Our initiatives focus on fostering independence and building a supportive neighborhood network.

We have a simple mission: to serve these families through multi-faceted short-term assistance in order to help restore and sustain healthy, independent living. After an initial assessment to identify the needs of a family, a family is welcomed into the temporary transitional housing. The family sets goals through regular meetings coordinated by a case manager. Through volunteer and community support, we help the family transition to greater independence. This model is proving successful for the families who have graduated from the program.

Join East Penn Neighbors Helping Neighbors in making a difference. Your donation provides vital support to families in need within the East Penn School District, promoting independence and community strength. Every contribution counts towards building a better future.
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals in supporting families with children enrolled in the East Penn School District. These funds support the family in the hosuing program as well as emergency needs for families as they arise.

“If it were not for the people who allowed us to get this home and helped maintain us while we got our feet together, I cannot tell you or imagine where we would be with our kids. I cannot tell you the joy in our hearts to tell our kids they were going to have a bed to sleep in. But we were not just helped with shelter. We were helped with food, clothing, adjusting to a new budget, and connecting to resources in the Lehigh Valley.
“This experience has made our family stronger. Now we are in our new home and sitting in our own furniture, which was in storage for almost three years.
“While the homeless face enormous hardships every day, their situations are often made worse by being ignored. The first step to solving any social issue is acknowledging its existence. Instead of turning our heads, why not try to find a solution. I hope that many of you will help out, as you will be helping a family like mine.."
