"I hope the Hub can see how absolutely
incredible the growth has been in such a short time!...The work you all are willing to do, and are doing, keeps us so encouraged...not to mention all the ‘boots on the ground’ help you’re providing people with. I cannot thank you enough for continuing to press forward and broaden the circle with the goal of closing gaps for those in our community."

The Story of the
Warwick Community Hub
The Warwick Community Hub began as a vision of eight community members looking to break down the barriers between people seeking resources and the committed organizations working to serve them. In early 2020, this team connected with community influencers such as our Warwick School District, our law enforcement community, social workers, non-profit leaders, church leaders, and others. We also set out to learn more about similar "Hub" ministries in other communities such as New Holland (CrossNet), Denver/Ephrata (Real Life), Paradise (The Factory), Elizabethtown (ECHOs), and Quarryville (Solanco Neighborhood Ministries).
​
After this initial research, we believed that our Warwick Community was ready for a next step. The Hub is the result of these amazing organizations and their willingness to share information and their experience with us. Our mission is to work together to practically help our neighbors living in the Lititz/Warwick community by connecting families in difficult situations to available resources, empowering next steps, and restoring hope because of Jesus.
​
Launching in 2023, the Hub is now led by a committed Board of Directors while day to day operations are led by a four-person team. Our "why" comes from the importance of caring for our community in practical ways as modeled by the life of Jesus. This motivates us to be consistently kind, loving, transparent, and hopeful in each interaction with our neighbors here in Warwick.
