Pennsylvania Skill Charitable Giving calls Williamsport and Lycoming County our home. Lycoming County has many charitable and worthy organizations that we have the opportunity and fortune to give back to and work alongside. From first responders to historical societies, Lycoming County has ample nonprofits and organizations to give back to.

The Williamsport Cemetery received a $5,000 donation from Pennsylvania Skill Charitable Giving to help restore the pillars and holding gates.

Benjamin Crever, founder of Lycoming College; Michael Ross, founder of Williamsport; William F. Packer, the only Governor from Williamsport; and 183 veterans.
