What Lemoyne Community Center does

Lemoyne Community Center is a registered nonprofit organization headquartered at 200 North Forrest Ave., Washington, Pennsylvania, serving youth and families across Washington County, PA. Established in 1956 and named after abolitionist Dr. Francis Julius Lemoyne, the center operates a portfolio of free community programs — Camp Challenge (8-week summer day camp), Homework and More (after-school academic support for K-12 students, October-April), Little Learner Academy (2025 kindergarten preparation program), Girl Scouts programming delivered in partnership with Girl Scouts of Western Pennsylvania, and a stack of food-security initiatives including a monthly Food Bank, Nutrafit Mobile Summer Feed (15-20 sites, ~18,000-20,000 meals over 10 weeks), Community Mobile Feed (launched September 2024), and Lil' Bitez (launched April 2024).

The center employs 1-10 staff supplemented by community volunteers, led by Executive Director Teresa Burroughs and Program Director Patricia Robinson, with governance provided by a Board of Directors. Underlying operations are entirely in-person: programs are delivered at the Forrest Neighborhood facility and through mobile distribution sites; there is no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or API.

Revenue is generated through individual donations, foundation grants, and corporate in-kind contributions from regional retailers (Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Sam's Club), plus tiered facility rentals of the gymnasium ($75-$1,500 per event) and meeting room ($35-$500 per event) for community, nonprofit, and commercial users. All youth programs are offered free of charge regardless of income.
