Our Story
Nestled along the Susquehanna River, The Sanctuary at 2147 N Front Street is more than a beautifully preserved gothic limestone church, it’s a new hub for hope, connection, and community. With its soaring ceilings, intricate stonework, and rich history, this landmark structure is now home to Carly’s Hope Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting adoptive families across Pennsylvania. But The Sanctuary offers more than just a headquarters, it is a growing center for local engagement and collaboration.
Carly's Hope
Carly’s Hope is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families overcome the financial barriers of adoption. We offer grants and a compassionate community to walk alongside families every step of the way. Rooted in lived experience, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home and we’re here to help make that dream a reality.
