People Serving People’s success is rooted in community. It takes a community of government partners, corporate donors, foundations, nonprofit organizations, and individuals who partner with us to support families experiencing homelessness.

Community Partner Spotlight

Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church

We want to spotlight a rich, longstanding relationship that has upheld our mission in unique ways. Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church has been a strong and supportive partner of St. Anne’s Place for many years. Their dedication to providing special meals for our shelter guests every month and hosting our Santa Night has been vital to our work at St. Anne’s Place. 

Bryn Mawr Church began their partnership in the early 2000’s by bringing dinner and books for mothers and their children every month. They initially received a grant to purchase these books, but once the funding dissipated, they began incorporating the purchase into their annual mission budget to support our families.   

When we asked for their help with St. Anne’s Place’s annual Santa Night, they stepped up and have continued to sponsor this special event ever since. Over the years, they’ve also sponsored several former families who have recently moved into permanent housing by providing holiday gifts. Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church’s partnership has included a willingness to make large pivots to align its support with St. Anne’s Place’s ever-changing needs. We are so grateful for our long-standing and ever-growing partnership!

Cummins, Inc.

Supporting families for more than 20 years

PSP is honored to celebrate one of our longstanding corporate partners, Cummins Inc., which has supported us for over 20 years. Our partnership with Cummins, Inc. began in 2005 because of our shared commitment to children and education. Cummins, Inc. started by serving meals and assisting us with our galas, Cummins has expanded its services to PSP in numerous impactful ways.

Many of the significant projects Cummins has helped us accomplish over the years include assisting us with kitchen upgrades at our Downtown Shelter, rebuilding our doorways at St. Anne’s Place after the attack on our shelter, redesigning our front desk at our Downtown Shelter, installing cubbies for the Early Learning Center, installing our playground, and so much more.

There are so many ways to support People Serving People beyond donating money or serving meals. While they are always needed, there are tremendous ways for corporate partners to motivate their employees to use their skill sets where they are most needed for People Serving People.
