Bethany of Central PA - Walk in Love

Join us for a Bethany walk/run to support Safe Families for Children, keeping children safe and families together in Pennsylvania.  

By participating, you’ll raise awareness and provide crucial support for families facing challenges like poverty, homelessness, and health issues. Together, we can make a lasting impact by building stronger, united communities.
