Campership
For many children, camp is more than just a summer activity. It’s a chance to explore, connect, and grow in a safe, supportive environment. Through the Campership Program, your support helps turn that opportunity into a reality for local families.
Virtual Food Drive
P2P is providing more food than ever before, in part due to the economic toll the pandemic and rising costs every day have had on so many of our neighbors. In the 12 months after the pandemic started, P2P distributed 71% more groceries than the previous 12 months. Today, more families and seniors are struggling with increased costs and choosing whether to to pay for rent, heat or health care or buy food.
Help P2P get food where it needs to be, with a gift to our food program. Thank you.
