The Berwick and Nescopeck Communities have been strong and resilient in the face of multiple tragedies. A temporary task force to facilitate support and resources was created through collaboration with five area entities: Community Giving Foundation, Berwick Area United Way, Berwick Area School District, CMSU, and Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit. A small list of community resources and support providers is found below. More resources may be added as they become available. If you are a private provider and would like to be added to this list, please reach out to [email protected].
