Bethany in Wilkes-Barre

Join a collaborative effort between your church and local volunteers to support families in times of crisis. Our mission is to provide early assistance, ensuring parents receive the help they need to stabilize their situation and keep their family together—long before foster care becomes a possibility. Make a difference by offering transportation, providing meals, caring for children, becoming a host family, or delivering essential supplies like diapers and resources. We are actively seeking host families, resource friends, and family coaches to help strengthen and uplift families in need.

Donations are needed frequently. Gift cards allow families to buy weather-appropriate clothing, highchairs, cribs, and other necessities. Some donations must be new, while others can be used. Living room and kitchen furniture, vehicles, and bicycles are a common request and we might be able to pick up! Cribs or mattresses must be new. Contact us to make a monetary donation to directly support an individual or family or donate items.

Play a vital role in uplifting and interceding for Bethany children and families we serve through dedicated and intentional prayer. This role is ideal for those who feel called to support others spiritually, offering encouragement, strength, and faith through prayerful dedication. There isn't a specific time or occasion to commit to this, however consistent and intentional prayers for Bethany clients and staff are crucial to motivate our mission work. You can also be added to our prayer intentions e-mail distribution list.
