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!!

We have been helping our first family since October 2021; since we do not yet have a house of our own, we found a rental place within their budget with a friendly landlord.

DELAYED REPORT ON UPDATES: we have been helping additional families and started a new way to focus on the children of PMSD’s families that are experiencing housing issues: Birthday Boxes!! We thank the Lord for all of our answered prayers and for helping us to hear how He wants us to serve Him by helping our neighbors!!
