Our work

Northeast Community Center has been a pillar of the Marvine-Pembroke community for the past 40+ years. In order to assist those in our community, we offer programs for all members of the household regardless of their age.

 

Choice Food Pantry

Our choice food pantry is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 12pm, and every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 5:30pm – 7pm.

Hygiene Pantry

Open the 1st Monday of the month from 12pm-2pm.
It is the first of its kind in the area and is available to all residents of Bethlehem. We offer basic hygiene necessities including body wash, toothpaste, shampoo, and deodorant.

 

Summer Camp


Our Annual Summer Camp which is open to children in Bethlehem entering grades 2nd-8th. We spend 7 fun-filled weeks continuing their education, swimming twice a week, participating in crafts, sports, science experiments, and going on field trips. 

Family Bingo Night 

To help engage the whole family we offer a Family BINGO Night 8 times a year in which the whole family can come enjoy a free hot meal, play 11 games of BINGO, win fun themed prizes, and enjoy a technology free evening bonding with those they love most.

Thanksgiving and Holiday Distributions

To finish off the year we conduct two distributions during the holiday season to those living in Bethlehem Housing Authority. We distribute 200+ Thanksgiving Dinners which include a frozen turkey and a bag of sides. Then our Christmas Gift Distribution in which we give out hundreds of Christmas Gifts to children in need. While these are the big things we do throughout the year we are always here to help those in our community in all ways big and small!
