About Give Local!
Give Local is an annual event designed to celebrate the causes that matter to Lancaster County and Chester County. Each year, supporters can get involved by donating funds or giving time in support of local nonprofit organizations. Launched in 2016 by the Arras Foundation and supporting partners, Give Local has raised over $4.5M for more than 150 nonprofit organizations in our region.
