Centre Foundation's Centre Gives is more than a fundraiser—it’s a reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together. Each year, this online giving event shines a spotlight on the incredible nonprofit organizations working every day to support our neighbors right here in Centre County. At Reese Hackman, we’re proud to take part by supporting organizations whose impact goes far beyond a single day of giving. While our contributions matter, they pale in comparison to the time, compassion, resources, and dedication these organizations pour into our community year‑round.
At RH, our annual giving initiative is shaped by the causes that matter most to our employees. Team members nominate meaningful charities, and through a shared voting process, we determine where our collective giving goes.
This year, we are honored to donate to the following local nonprofits:
Housing Transitions
Housing Transitions offers shelter, guidance, and hope to Centre County residents facing housing insecurity. Centre House is the county’s only 24/7 homeless shelter for individuals and families, with additional services including supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and homelessness prevention.

Out of the Cold: Centre County

Opportunities to support organizations like these exist all year—not just during Centre Gives. Whether through donations, volunteering time, or sharing resources, every act of support helps strengthen our community. These nonprofits are making a difference every single day, and we’re happy to do our part in supporting them.
