Over the next year, we will complete 45 big and small projects to extend our reach, deepen our impact, and bring more people into the spirit of service.

Although I grew up and attended college in West Virginia, I’ve called Lower Makefield my home for over 28 years. During that time, I developed my love for volunteering. Participating in church projects, serving as a Minister of Holy Communion at St. Mary’s, and engaging in my children’s sports and group activities have been gratifying, but being a member [...]
Although I’ve recently retired from a long career as a pharmaceutical representative, I've no plans to retire from my interest in volunteering. Whether I’m in Florida during the winter or Yardley for the rest of the year, I make it a point to contribute wherever I am. For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt the importance of [...]

The Makefield Women’s Association (MWA) dedicates itself to making a difference in our community each year. Through fundraising, volunteer work, and advocacy, MWA supports local organizations that provide crucial services to those in need.

Tracy Perron It’s 2020, Covid is just breaking out, and I’m moving to Lower Makefield. We were all using apps and zoom to connect. I learned about MWA through the Nextdoor App. I thought it could be a way to meet people and connect with the community. Even though they were conducting their meetings through zoom, members were welcoming [...]
