Everyone knows that December is a special time of year — a time when family, friends and neighbors gather to celebrate the joys of the holiday season. But do you know that December is also the Month of Giving, whether it’s making a donation to a charitable cause or volunteering your time to help others in need.
Past, Present & Future
This December, we invite you to learn more about The Alliance for Health Equity’s impact in the Greater Coatesville area by viewing our Community Reports. If you’re already a supporter, we hope you’ll be proud of all we have accomplished together. If you’re new to our work, we hope you’ll be inspired to give and get involved so that we can build on our success to have an even greater impact in the future. It would be impossible for us to fulfill our mission and vision of a thriving, inclusive and healthy community for all without the hundreds of donors and volunteers who give of their time, talent, and treasure.
In the Greater Coatesville area, with some of Chester County’s poorest neighborhoods, our children, seniors, adults, and youth lack the quality healthcare, mental health, behavioral health, and social support services that they need. Donations help with supporting general operating expenses, building a stronger nonprofit sector, and our implementing strategic initiatives that help with emergent and long term community challenges. Your generosity will make a real difference.
