About Pressley Ridge

Help us build strong families and strong communities.Unwavering support from donors and volunteers who believe in our mission has made Pressley Ridge a leader among human services organizations. Since our founding in 1832, Pressley Ridge has helped tens of thousands kids and families obtain the strength, stability, and self-reliance they need to build better lives.But it's not enough. We need your support to build our impact. As an organization, we face challenges every day meeting the needs of our kids and families. These difficulties come from a variety of issues such as restrictions on service contracts that prevent us from going the extra mile, not having enough foster families to serve the amount of kids in need of homes, or an inability for people to afford their co-pays to get the care they need.With your help, we know we can do more.Here's how. Pressley Ridge is a social impact organization that strengthens communities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. Our services include foster care, workforce development, substance abuse support, mental and behavioral health offered in home, school, community or residential settings and specialized education for students, including those with autism and deafness.
