Community Heroes

Lancaster County offers many resources for people in need—but sometimes it’s hard to know who to call. We established this page as a way to put information at your fingertips so you or someone you know can find the help they need. From medical care to food and electricity, from elderly care to scholarships for education, our desire is to see this list grow and we try to bridge the gap between those who are needy—and those who can help.

Are you an organizational administrator and don’t see your group listed? Please call or email us at David Blackwell Law or  to provide us with information to post about your services.
