Volunteers In Philanthropy
Doing Good in the Berwick Community.
When the Community Giving Foundation was established out of the sale of the Berwick Hospital, a commitment to charitable work in the Berwick community remained at the forefront. In 2010, the former Berwick Hospital Auxiliary reinvented themselves as the Foundation's Volunteers in Philanthropy. With a mission to improve the quality of life for Berwick residents, members committed to enriching volunteerism and making meaningful grant investments in the community.
A Story of Local Giving
Volunteers in Philanthropy is a group of life-long Berwick residents working together to enrich volunteerism and make increasing grant investments in the community they care so much about.
