Keystone State Lights who are lighting our way — join us every WE CARE DAY, monthly on the 25th. One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
These organizations are quietly doing the work of Matthew 25:40 in Pennsylvania — feeding the hungry, sheltering the stranger, lifting the fallen — and the important work of assisting those oppressed by life. It is a beautiful thing, responding to those in need as we are all commanded. They serve their neighbors. These are not just examples to follow — they would welcome your time and support of their mission.
Pennsylvania — Lights shining across the Keystone State
Almost 30 years feeding Perry County. They call it BOLO — Bread of Life Outreach. Basic needs met, gospel witness given. They became the anchor of a regional food network that other ministries now depend on. One small church. 30 years. That is faithfulness.
One of the largest Catholic human services networks in the country. Immigration, housing, elder care, refugee resettlement, food assistance — serving everyone in the City of Brotherly Love, regardless of faith. The Catholic mission to the poor, at full scale.
Lutheran mission to the poor across southeastern Pennsylvania. Food, shelter, family services, and refugee resettlement. The Lutheran conviction that the church must go to the people — practiced here every day.
Restoring hope and transforming lives across Pennsylvania. Food, housing, life recovery. They do not just address symptoms — they walk with people through the long process of getting their lives back.
North Philadelphia's anchor mosque. Food pantry, emergency assistance, and youth programs on Germantown Avenue — one of the poorest corridors in America. The Islamic obligation to the poor, alive on Germantown Avenue.
After the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in October 2018, Sikh families were among the first to show up — at the vigil, at the food tables, at the side of a grieving community. That is seva. Pittsburgh will not forget it.
The 25th of every month is WE CARE DAY.
One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
Share your WE CARE DAY story — the one that made you feel good about doing it. Every little kindness helps. A compliment goes a long way. Jesus says don't tell anyone of your kindness, but we need your example so you only get to use your last name initial so you don't have to compromise your faith. Tell us — what made you feel good helping someone? Your story lights the way for others.
Know a business or organization in Pennsylvania that shares our values — serving neighbors, lifting the vulnerable, doing the important work of assisting those oppressed by life — Matthew 25:40? Tell us about them and we'll shine a light on their work so that you may patronize these entities who share your values.
