ProJeCt of Easton

ProJeCt’s mission is to improve the community by helping people help themselves. We believe that education is the key to helping economically and educationally disadvantaged adults and children in the Lehigh Valley. Our school and workforce preparation services address the alarming poverty and low-literacy rates in the region by teaching clients the skills needed to succeed as a contributing membe

r of society, whether in work, school, or as a citizen. All our programs are free, located in Easton, Pennsylvania, and are open to residents of Northampton and/or Lehigh County. Educational services offered include: Adult Literacy (including GED Preparation, English as a Second Language, and Adult Basic Education); U.S. Citizenship preparation; Family Literacy (including preschool and kindergarten preparation); a summer reading skills camp for elementary school-age students; and, a substance abuse prevention and behavioral health program for middle school-age students. We develop an individualized case management plan for each client and provide access to material needs supports, including our Food Pantry and emergency assistance voucher program. In addition, we have established partnerships with other community resources in order to provide a well-rounded, integrated solution to the complex problem of poverty. Our clients go on to college, jobs, and self-sufficiency, ready to participate in and improve our community.

The Lehigh Valley Community Foundation has announced the recipients of Good Neighbor Fund grants for 2026 to help households across eastern and central Pennsylvania manage rising home energy costs. The Good Neighbor Fund was created to help address the increasing burden of utility costs on households throughout PPL Electric Utilities’ service territory. Through partnerships with trusted nonprofit organizations already serving their communities, the program helps ensure support reaches households quickly and efficiently.

ProJeCt is one of sixteen nonprofits selected to receive a grant in the coming weeks. “Families across our region continue to face difficult financial decisions as energy and household costs remain high,” said Megan Briggs, Vice President of Community Investments at the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation. “These grants strengthen the capacity of local nonprofits that are already deeply connected to their communities and able to respond quickly when households need support the most.”

ProJeCt of Easton is deeply saddened by the passing of Rabbi Norton Shargel, one of the founders of ProJeCt. Rabbi Shargel served as the spiritual leader of Congregation B'nai Abraham in Easton from 1961 to 1970. In 1968, he joined with Protestant and Catholic clergy in the city to help establish ProJeCt, creating a collaborative community effort dedicated to helping people help themselves. Rabbi Shargel relocated to Harrison, New York in 1970, but his vision, compassion, and commitment to serving others helped lay the foundation for an organization that continues to transform lives today.

Rabbi Shargel's legacy lives on through ProJeCt's ongoing efforts to empower adult learners, support children's educational success, and provide critical assistance to neighbors facing hardship. The values and spirit he brought to ProJeCt remain at the heart of our mission, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.
