ABOUT
Serving the community for over 40 years!
OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
The agency is located in an original firehouse on First Avenue in Red Lion, PA, which was built in 1904/05. It has seen various occupants and uses during its 114+ years of history, but it has stood the test of time. Established in 1974 & incorporated in 1975, we are a not-for-profit agency providing basic items of support to help nearly 350 families who reside in the Dallastown, Eastern York, and Red Lion School Districts. In the past few months, we were able to reach 1000 individuals: 408 children, 490 adults, and 106 seniors. From that total, 65 people were completely new clients. Thank you for your help assisting us with our service to the community. On November 14, 2015, the building was re-dedicated in honor of Miss Ruthann Young, the lead donor during the first-ever Capital Campaign [2011-2016]. Community REACH, Inc. celebrates more than 40 years of service to the surrounding communities! Thank you for your support.
FUNDING:
Community REACH, Inc. relies entirely on volunteers, in-kind donations, monetary gifts,
food pantry donations, fundraising events, grants and endowments. We are a distribution partner with Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and with York County Food Bank which allows our agency to receive inventory from the state food allotment and the TEFAP products each month, as well as various other programming support and information.
Contact the office or stop in during weekday office hours for a tour of the facility or for more information.
Donations are now accepted online by simply finding the donate button here on the website and following the prompts. Thank you in advance!
Although the successful capital campaign has been closed, we continue to accept, and always appreciate, any donation toward the capital improvements funds which support the maintenance and repairs of our historically important building; upgrades to the building are needed to insure the best use of the space for our services for many more years.
We sincerely ask you to assist Community REACH, Inc. with a special monetary gift.
We will be able to continue these important ministries on your behalf
only through your generous donations.

Meet The Staff
MURIEL SLENKER,
Executive Director:
Muriel has been the agency director since December 2006, following an extensive career in home health and as a program director at an elder day care and an assisted living facility. Serving at this agency has allowed her to continue to encourage 'wellness as a lifestyle' and supporting the community at large. In November of 2017, she was honored by the Red Lion Borough Council with the presentation of the annual Cathering Meyer Award for service to the community. She values the compassionate volunteers who daily care for all who enter the doors at 15 First Avenue; their heart for God's people is the keystone of the agency.
CHARLOTTE WARFIELD, Office Assistant: Char joined our staff in March 2018 as the support staff person for the clients and the business office. She has quickly become a vital part of our agency and brings a gentle spirit of caring to all who meet her. Welcome Char!
