Mid Penn Bank is announcing its donation of $50,000 to Project HOME, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization empowering individuals to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.

The donation will contribute to funding renovations to the organization’s medical center, the Stephen Kline Wellness Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center that provides high quality, low barrier, and affordable health and wellness care to underserved populations in Philadelphia.

For over 35 years, Project HOME has worked to end chronic street homelessness and alleviate poverty in greater Philadelphia by providing a continuum of care through a range of services, including street outreach, affordable housing, employment opportunities, medical care, and education.

“Mid Penn Bank is honored to support Project HOME and its mission to provide resources to those in need,” Mid Penn Bank President and CEO Rory Ritrievi said.

“With this donation, we are pleased to help the organization make critical updates to its health care facility. The work being done by Project HOME is not only inspiring, but vital, to the local community.” 

Brian Hudson, Mid Penn board member and former executive director and CEO of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, was in attendance to present the donation to Sister Mary Scullion, co-founder and executive director of Project HOME.

The Neighborhood Assistance Program is a tax-credit program through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development that encourages businesses to invest in projects across the commonwealth that will improve distressed areas, cultivating growth and development.
