April Fools Non Gala
What could be better than a gala where you don’t have to buy expensive tickets, you don’t have to get dressed up, and you don’t even have to leave the comfort of home? It’s the April Fools NON Gala, where you get to “not go” to a gala, and put every penny that would have gone into a fancy affair directly into the programs and services at IHS that help those in need in Centre County.

Community Care Auction
This annual event takes place over the course of one week in September and is conducted entirely online. The community has the opportunity to participate in three ways: (1) by donating goods or services to be auctioned, (2) by sponsoring the auction, and (3) by visiting the auction site and bidding on items. The array of auction items provides something for everyone, from household goods, collectibles, and hand-crafted items, to gift cards, special services, and vacation trips.

Holiday Wishing Well
This event that takes from the day after Thanksgiving through December 23rd, is easily identified by the brightly-colored wishing well and bell ringers who greet patrons at Meyer Dairy and the Waffle Shop in Downtown Sate College. This is truly an all-encompassing community event, from the volunteers who ring bells, to our event sponsors, to the many people who continue to toss their coins in the wishing well throughout the holiday season.
Year End Appeal
This direct mail campaign gives IHS the opportunity to reach out to our steadfast donors for one last tax-deductible contribution before the year ends. It’s also an opportunity to thank our donors for their continued support and provide timely updates on the impact of our programs in the community.
