Goodwill of Delaware & Delaware County
Every Thanksgiving, we partner with Goodwill’s Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) to support seniors re-entering the workforce. With your generosity, we’ve delivered over 50 turkeys and 50 Acme gift cards each year, ensuring that hardworking seniors and participants in the “Work a Day, Earn a Pay” program can enjoy a holiday meal. Their efforts keep Delaware beautiful, collecting more than 1,300 bags of roadside litter annually and we’re proud to give back to them in return.
Access Community Center, Chester, PA
In 2023, we made our largest single donation in Foundation history! $25,000 to the brand-new Access Community Center. Led by Sisters Maggie Gannon, OSF, and Cathy McGowan, SSJ, this center provides food, classes, resources, laundry, and showers for Chester families facing food insecurity, housing struggles, and poverty. Alongside financial support, we also provided Thanksgiving meals - 20 turkeys, 20 gift cards, and 24 pies - for families in their outreach program.
Frontline Heroes During Covid-19
When the pandemic struck, our mission of “Simply Helping Others” meant stepping up for those who were stepping up for us. We provided 200 lunches for frontline workers at Chester County Hospital and Riddle Memorial Hospital, offering a small gesture of gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff who risked so much to protect our community.
Drexel Neumann Academy
For years, we’ve stood alongside Drexel Neumann Academy in Chester, a safe and nurturing school that provides children with hope and opportunity. Through our educational grants, we’ve ensured that dozens of students can continue their education in an environment filled with faith, learning, and care. Sister Maggie, OSF, said it best: “We are so grateful for all the Billy Mock Foundation has done for the children...Billy surely has made a wonderful impact on their lives.”
Together, these stories remind us why we exist: to Simply Help Others.
From Thanksgiving meals for families, to educational opportunities for children, to lifesaving support for frontline workers, and record-breaking donations to vital community centers. None of this would be possible without your generosity!
