We encourage you to explore your passions and be on-mission in your local community. Consider serving with one of our church partners, Love INC or Downey Elementary School, or with one of the many ministries in Central PA.

Love INC of Greater Hershey works with church and community partners to facilitate solutions that lift up individuals and families in need. They describe themselves this way: "We are connectors. We connect churches to one another and their community. We connect community members to resources. We connect people with God. We create spaces where church volunteers and community members' lives intersect and reciprocal transformation and growth can occur."

During July, Hershey Free is collecting sneakers for kids in Derry Township and Lower Dauphin school districts. They need 300+ pairs of new sneakers and socks for both girls and boys in sizes youth 11 to adult 17.

We are also collecting personal care items. The following is the list of the most needed items:

• sunscreen
• men’s deodorant
• dishwasher pods
• tissues
• baby wipes
• baby shampoo/wash

All donated items can be dropped off in the blue lobby.

Hope Within is a free primary medical, dental, and extremely low-cost counseling center serving the medically uninsured, financially eligible residents of Lancaster, Dauphin, & Lebanon Counties.

Block Party Trailer

As a church, we love our community and seek ways to connect with our neighbors and have fun. Our block party trailer provides a way to embody that vision. We use the trailer to engage in pre-existing community events so that we are going where people already are instead of asking them to come to us. The trailer is available for groups or individuals within the church to sign out and use in their neighborhoods for block parties or other events! See below for more details.
