Bethany Outreach Center - Erie Gives

Bethany Outreach Center is a volunteer driven
Christian organization, rooted in Erie's most impoverished zip code, 16501.  Our organization is known for reaching out
to ALL people who need a hand up and hope for life change. Our broad based
services address the material, vocational, spiritual, and physical needs of
people who are in need of HOPE, ENCOURAGE, GUIDANCE, AND SUPPORT.

We help individuals in need of support and we are a haven of resources for social service connections. We reach out with open arms and are
family to those who are lonely, unloved, and misunderstood. Bethany Outreach Center provides life essential services and empower our low-income families through enrichment programs and partnerships that lead to positive life change. 

Our non-profit agency caters toward the needs of a growing audience made up by underserved individuals and families that we provide our offerings to weekly through out the year. Those services include distribution of food through our food pantry, distribution of clothing through our clothes closet, and education with an emphasis on literacy, healthy living. All of the programs and services that we provide to the community are FREE of charge. The majority of the families that we serve have a house hold income that is at or below 150% poverty level. We have had nearly 220 families/ households check in during our highest week of distribution. Can you imagine how many would suffer if we could not provide these services? We are counting on you to help lighten the burden of those we serve through our community center. Thank you in advance for your support!
