Join us in fostering community through partnerships! Menno Haven and Habitat for Humanity are collaborating to build a single-detached ranch-style home in 2024 on Sutherland Court in the Greenvillage area of Chambersburg. Menno Haven and local community volunteers will handle various tasks, from framing to painting, following the Habitat model. This joint effort, named the Hope House, aims to provide a safe and affordable home for a Menno Haven Team Member. The completed home will be sold to a qualified Team Member with a no-interest loan from Habitat. Menno Haven is actively raising funds for the lot, building materials, and construction costs which are estimated at approximately $250,000. Be part of this impactful project by donating today!

The Operations Unrestricted Fund empowers the Menno Haven Senior Team and Board of Directors to strategically allocate funds where they are most needed, enabling our organization to fulfill its mission, vision, and values effectively.

Menno Haven proudly sponsors Branch Creek Place, located in Shippensburg, PA, a vibrant Senior Center offering a variety of activities and services to its participants.

Additionally, the center operates a Meals on Wheels program, delivering 51-60 meals daily to homebound individuals from Monday to Friday, combating isolation and ensuring proper nutrition. Branch Creek Place also hosts community events, including the annual Veterans Ceremony organized by The Warriors Quilting Club, which honors local veterans and distributes handmade quilts. Moreover, Bingo night is a regular highlight every Wednesday, welcoming participants for a fun-filled evening of games and camaraderie.
