Williamsport Center Receives Grant

PA Treatment & Healing Receives Grant

PA Treatment & Healing’s Williamsport Center proudly received a $20,000 grant award from the Williamsport Lycoming Community Foundation of the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania.  

President/CEO Jerilyn A. Keen and Williamsport Program Manager Cleveland Way attended the Spring Grant Reception on July 14, 2011 to accept the award. A total of Twenty-six (26) nonprofit organizations that support social services, arts, and students received grants totaling over $319,000.  The Williamsport Center plans to use the funding to purchase computers, equipment, software, projectors, and internet. Funds will also help support a graffiti removal project and make possible a summer enrichment program for youth needing rehabilitative skills and assistance practicing  good decision making skills that may ordinarily be lost during the summer due to lack of support and reinforcement.  These services will positively impact hundreds of youth, capture their attention, keep them engaged in the education and counseling processes and prepare them to become successful citizens in the future.
