The heritage center regularly supports the community with a fall food drive to commemorate the first Schwenkfelders’ thanksgiving celebration on Sept. 24, 1734, as they arrived in Pennsylvania. They fled from Europe, where they were persecuted for their religious beliefs.

The Open Link is a multi-service agency serving the greater Upper Perkiomen Valley. It provides services and programs to help educate, empower, and offer opportunities for people of all ages to lead healthy and productive lives.
