Many Ways to Give
COBYS provides a full continuum of care that prioritizes the physical safety and behavioral and emotional health of the children, adults, and families we serve. While we receive some county and state funding, it does not cover all the expenses required to deliver the exceptional level of care that sets us apart. Our commitment goes beyond the basics. This is the COBYS Difference — and it is only possible with the help of generous supporters like you.

Many employers will match employees’ charitable donations, doubling or even tripling your gift to COBYS. Ask your employer if this benefit is available to you.
Whether you’re tax planning or simply inspired by the generosity of the holiday season, the end of the year is a common time for charitable giving. Your gift helps provide hope, healing, and support while making a lasting impact in our community.
Leave a lasting legacy by including COBYS in your estate plans. Planned gifts can benefit future generations while offering potential tax advantages.
Each November, support COBYS through Lancaster County’s annual day of giving, the ExtraGive. Every gift helps expand our impact on children and families.
Support children and families with life’s everyday extras, from clothing and school supplies to birthday gifts, enrichment opportunities, special experiences that create lasting memories, and underfunded Counseling Center expenses.
Donate new clothing, toiletries, backpacks, blankets, toys, and other essentials that help foster children and families feel welcomed, cared for, and prepared.
