Friendship Community is a Christian ministry cultivating capabilities and celebrating the best in individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and Autism (ID/A). Since 1972, we have walked alongside adults with ID/A through residential homes, day programs, community-based support, and the Friendship Heart Gallery & Studio. Rooted in Christ’s love, our mission is to help each person live with dignity, purpose, and joy in a safe, faith-centered environment.
We believe every individual is created in God’s image and called to a life filled with belonging. Through personalized support and opportunities for growth, we nurture independence, creativity, and spiritual life. Today, Friendship Community supports more than 150 individuals in Lancaster and Lebanon counties through 24 residential homes, day programs, and community inclusion. Your gift during Faithful Give helps Friendship Community continue providing Christ-centered care, stability, and hope. Every contribution strengthens the foundation for those we serve—ensuring safe housing, meaningful work, creative outlets, and spiritual nurture remain accessible.
Your generosity makes Christ’s love visible. Every gift helps adults with intellectual disabilities and autism live with dignity, purpose, and joy.
Every dollar helps cultivate abilities, celebrate uniqueness, and share hope. Together, we can be the faithful presence our community needs.
No matter the amount, your gift becomes part of God’s transforming work; cultivating abilities, celebrating uniqueness, and promoting inclusion for adults with intellectual disabilities and autism. Together, we can be the steady, faithful presence they need in a world that often overlooks them.
