Founded in 2017, The Cottage was established to assist women in crisis and their dependent children while they search for permanent housing. Since then, our focus has shifted to help any family in the Penn Manor School District (PMSD) area who is experiencing housing insecurity.

Interested in supporting us? Checks should be made payable to Millersville Community Church with “The Cottage” in the memo line. Checks may be dropped off (Monday to Thursday, 9am to 4pm) or mailed to the church office at 163 W. Frederick Street, Millersville, PA 17551. You can support us by attending our events (see the tab at the top of the page). We appreciate all of you!!
