Earth Conservancy was proud to join forces with several outstanding local partners – the AllOne Foundation & AllOne Charities, The Luzerne Foundation, the United Way of Wyoming Valley, and the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund – to support the SHINE After School Program of Luzerne County at Wilkes University. Together, we raised $500,000 to ensure SHINE’s essential programs continued this year, providing homework help, hot meals, STEM learning, and more. Over the past decade, SHINE has reached nearly 5,000 students, strengthening families and building stronger communities. We were proud to collaborate on this effort to keep SHINE’s legacy bright. More details about the program and the donation area available at @Wilkes News.
