"Main Line Gives" is May 31!

1st Annual Day of Giving to Kick Off May 31 to Support Local Nonprofits

From Malvern to Merion … from King of Prussia to Newtown Square … the people of Philadelphia's Main Line have always been passionate about supporting important causes.

That's the inspiration behind Main Line Gives, a region-wide event on Thursday, May 31, 2018 — a day to come together and give back to more than 50 local nonprofit agencies working to make our community a better place.

Home to nearly 250,000 people, the Main Line was once an exclusive haven for the elite. Today, it’s a mix of diverse communities, with local nonprofit organizations working tirelessly to meet urgent needs for the elderly, the young, the infirm, and many other vulnerable groups.
