About Warrington Cares
In 2014, a group of Warrington Township employees founded and chartered the Warrington Cares Employee Charity. This 501(C)3 tax exempt organization is represented by municipal employees from all departments including police, fire, public works, water/sewer, parks and recreation township office staff. Warrington Cares was created in the power of giving and exists as a means to raise funds for local causes.
All funds raised will be directed towards providing money to local families in need, annual scholarships to graduating high school seniors who reside within Warrington Township, making donations to other nonprofit charities, and contributing to a college fund for Ian Bennett, the son of the late Police Officer Timothy J. Bennett. To learn more, visit www.warringtoncares.org
