Mark your calendars for May 2 & 3, 2024 as Give Local York returns! Give Local York is a 24-hour online giving event for sponsors and thousands of individual donors across our community to come together and support local non-profit organizations.

Many of our programs are offered to students at no cost. We’re able to provide English as a Second Language, Adult Reading, High School equivalency testing, and civics and citizenship classes because of the support from our community. And Give Local York is the largest single day of giving in our community! With your help, we can make history in 2024!
