The Historical Society depends on the generosity of its members and the community. There are many items we need to help us continue to offer a History Center and our many programs and events.

Stamps are a big expense for us, but are an easy item for the public to donate. A roll of stamps costs $45 and would help us immensely as we mail out five program flyers and four newsletters annually. (And we will happily accept even a book of stamps!)

In addition, we always need items at Office Depot—such as ink cartridges and paper for our printer. A gift card for any amount will help us defray the costs of buying those supplies. And if you buy the cards at Giant Eagle, you’ll get fuel perks. So in a way, you’ll be helping yourself as well as the Society!
