About Us

Who We Are

Serving as the hub of the community, Northeast Community Center is a non-profit social service agency located in the heart of the low-income housing neighborhood of Marvine-Pembroke. Our goal is to offer programs and services to those in need in the community and to help them reach their highest potential.

 

 

While many of our programs focus on the youth of the community, our food pantry is offered to individuals of all ages and our Connecting Seniors Program focuses on bringing the senior citizens of the community together. Since as far back as 1980, we have created a presence in the community that offers help and hope to those living in Northeast Bethlehem.

As a Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the success of Northeast Community Center is completely dependent on contributions from individuals, business, churches, grants, and our fundraising events.
