“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members”
Bethany House has been blessed in ways that we never saw coming, and we have frequently witnessed provision come before we even speak the need. This has come through grants to fund our staff and generous individuals in our community showing up with toilet paper the very same day that our residents take the last roll to put in their bathroom.
As the African proverb states, it takes a village to support our girls. We are thankful for the provision of our current village and would love for you to join us in this mission!
On December 1st, the funding source that pays for our two, full-time case managers will be depleted. We are praying and trusting that this funding will be replaced so we can continue to provide these much-needed services in our community.
If you would like to become involved in the work we do, continue scrolling to see the many ways you can join us in this mission and be a part of our girls’ village.

Below are additional ways you can get involved in what is happening at Bethany House!
Gift Cards
As we strive to meet the needs of our residents and clients, this often involves financial assistance. We are entirely community funded, and as a result, there are times that our capacity to provide financial assistance is limited. Gift cards provided help to ease the burden of meeting all of our girls needs, and the gift of experiential gift cards allows us to build relationships while doing fun activities. Some of the main gift cards that are helpful to our ministry are to:
Grocery Stores
Department Stores
Experiences (i.e. Sports Emporium, Board & Brush, Hershey Park, Knoebels…)

Amazon Wish List
When we welcome a new resident to our program, we ensure that they receive new bedding, new towels, and a small basket of items in order to help them feel that they are wanted and valuable. These items stay on our wishlist, as well as a variety of household cleaning supplies and paper products that we, like any household, are often in need of. These in-kind donations help to minimize the overhead cost of running our two homes, and allow for our funds to meet the various other needs of our residents and clients.
