Our communities have been through a lot over the past couple of years. End 2021 on a high note by supporting our communities. Here are some ways you can get involved.
CHESTER COUNTY:
WEST CHESTER FOOD CUPBOARD FOOD DRIVE WITH KW BRANDYWINE
Our office is collecting food donations to deliver in one big drop to the West Chester Food Cupboard. Collections ends on November 17th. Drop off food donations at the office or contact our team and we will coordinate with you to get your donations and can bring them to the office for you. See what donations are needed here.
CHESTER COUNTY FOOD BANK
There are volunteer opportunities available this year. Besides providing food donations, you can partner with one of their farms or gardens, be an ambassador at community events, be hands on in our commercial kitchen, or assist the office team. Find out more about these and other opportunities on their website here.
BRANDYWINE VALLEY SPCA
Have a soft spot for animals? This year consider volunteering with Brandywine SPCA or any of the other local shelters. Brandywine SPCA offers programs ranging from administrative volunteers, adoption counselors, dog & cat volunteer programs, baking for the pups, homemade toys for cats, junior & children programs, and more! Learn more about these and other opportunities to assist with the shelter here.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF CHESTER COUNTY
As the weather starts to change, there is a sense of urgency to complete home building projects as well as manage and stock the ReStore facilities so the new homeowners have access to furnishings. You can assist with these and other volunteer opportunities. Check out their website for the full list, requirements and applications.
STATE POLICE HOLIDAY DRIVE WITH KW BRANDYWINE
Our office is collecting NEW coats and toys as part of Pennsylvania State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police’s Holiday Drive.
