let’s dive in!

habitat for humanity of berks county

Many assume Habitat for Humanity of Berks County serves families in crisis, or that it hands over keys to anyone who asks. Neither is true. The people Habitat Berks serves are teachers, hotel staff, warehouse workers and the folks who unload the trucks. They’re the workforce that keeps Berks County running, earning too much for most assistance but too little to buy a home on their own. And for nearly four decades, Habitat Berks has been building homes for these families, one rowhome, one block, one neighborhood at a time.

This storytelling series is sponsored by Bell Media Group.

Ready to fall into networking!

Networking@night: Evertrue lutheran home

Join us at EverTrue Lutheran Home at Topton for a cozy fall evening where networking comes with a little extra s’more! Enjoy lite fare, cider and beverages while you mingle, then head out to the patio to take in the changing leaves and toast some s’mores around the fire. Prefer to stay toasty? The fireplace in the restaurant will be waiting for you.

Impact Report

I can’t say enough great things about GRCA and specifically Women2Women. Their support has truly made a meaningful impact on both my professional growth and personal development. From the moment I became involved, I felt welcomed, encouraged and genuinely supported. What stands out most is how GRCA consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s offering resources, creating opportunities or simply showing up to support their members, their commitment is unmatched.
