Family Promise is a national nonprofit that mobilizes communities to help homeless and low-income families achieve lasting independence. Family Promise is based in Summit, New Jersey, where we began our work in 1988, founded on the belief that Americans are compassionate people who want to make a difference. Today we have more than 200 Affiliates in 43 states, with more in development. Family Promise is a leader in promoting volunteerism and has served as a model of American volunteerism in the U. S. and abroad. Our programs involve 180,000 volunteers nationwide who provide assistance to more than 50,000 family members annually. Family Promise was chosen to receive one of 21 Points of Light awards out of a field of more than 4,500 nominees.
For over 128 years, WRC Senior Services has been dedicated to helping seniors in rural Pennsylvania make the best possible choices related to lifestyle and health care.
WRC originally stood for the Woman's Relief Corp. This volunteer organization formed as an offshoot of the Grand Army of the Republic to care for disabled Civil War veterans, widows and orphans.
At the annual WRC meeting in 1889, former army nurse Kate Scott proposed that a rest home be built in Brookville for this purpose. The Pennsylvania Memorial Home opened the following year - the first community of WRC Senior Services.
Today WRC Senior Services is an integrated family of services. We offer skilled and rehabilitative care, residential living and personal care, and home and community-based services.
