Inaugural Silent Auction to support The Cottage
 |
Helping families from becoming homeless!
Established in 2017, The Cottage is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families within the Penn Manor School District who are experiencing housing insecurity. Our mission is to provide compassionate, practical assistance that helps families remain housed and stable.
In 2025, our primary focus is eviction prevention. We work closely with families to provide support with rent, utility payments, budgeting guidance, mentoring, etc.
Additionally, we've launched a new initiative in 2025: Birthday Boxes for children affected by housing insecurity. These personalized boxes are designed to help each child feel seen, celebrated, and valued on their special day. Each box includes items such as cake mix or cupcakes with frosting, birthday-themed paper goods, and a small gift or tickets to a fun local experience—carefully chosen based on input from both the child and their parents.
