Each year, Olivia’s House looks for an individual or business to match a portion/percentage of the contributions that we receive through our annual mail appeal.
Having a matching partner helps Olivia’s House double a portion of the proceeds from the campaign… thereby doubling the support for the children of Olivia’s House!
If you are interested in being a matching “Heart Partner” in the future, please contact our Development Director at (717) 699-1133.
Olivia’s House is proud to be a Virtual Partner with CommunityAid!
If you have clothing or shoes you wish to donate, drop them off at ANY CommunityAid Donation Center.
You must provide our assigned Partner Number (#50014) and organization name to the door associate upon drop off, so Olivia’s House receives the donation credit.
If you have any questions, please contact our Development Director .

Do you wish to support Olivia’s House but don’t have a large amount of time to give? A great way to help is by participating in our “Pay it Forward” initiative!
Simply write a letter or email to your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers asking them to donate books of stamps to Olivia’s House.
Olivia’s House works extremely hard to dedicate incoming dollars directly to children’s programs. You can be a part of the process by joining in our “Pay it Forward” stamp program. The flow of incoming stamps means that dollars do not have to be diverted to postage and can go directly to the children and their families.
Please contact our Development Director at 717-699-1133 for more information or for a sample letter to get you started.
Designate Olivia’s House on your United Way donation form under the “other” line so we can receive your donation through the United Way’s annual campaign. Remember, when you receive your United Way donation form, write in “Olivia’s House.”
Also, don’t forget to tell your co-workers, family, friends and neighbors to support Olivia’s House in this manner as well.
