As a delivery driver, you are the direct contact between an isolated senior and Berks Encore. Volunteers use their own vehicles to pick up meals from one of six (6) sites, and generally be available at least one (1) day weekly or monthly Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:30 am and noon. Pick-up sites for home-delivered meal routes are located in Douglassville, Fleetwood, Mifflin, Reading, Strausstown, and Wernersville. Help is needed at all locations.

The mission of Bethany Children’s Home is to provide a safe place of nurture, protection, and supportive care to aid our residents in their self-understanding, growth, and healing toward a brighter, healthier future. Today we still work very closely with CYS, JPO and most recently the federal government providing care to homeless youth.

Bethany Children’s Home provides residential and therapeutic services for youth between the ages of 10 and 21 years of age who have experienced some level SEVERE trauma in their lives such as abandonment, exposure to crime/violence/poverty, physical abuse, sexual abuse, drug/alcohol exposure and/or continuous placements.

Looking for artists, musicians, fitness instructors, yoga instructors, mindfulness/meditation instructors, etc. to share their talents and insights with individuals living with mental illness or dual diagnoses.
