Ripple Community Inc. Ripple Community Inc. Community and connection are essential for individuals, families, and neighborhoods to thrive. At Ripple Community Inc.

nurtures community and connection in Allentown by fostering a sense of community among our neighbors who have traditionally been marginalized and by cultivating connections across social boundaries. Social connection is considered a core psychological need, though it is one that is easily overlooked when we consider the complex—and often more visible—needs of people who are displaced, homeless, or

living below the poverty line. (RCI), our mission is to meet this need for community and connection for Allentown residents. RCI serves Allentown residents who are socially and economically marginalized due to homelessness, social disconnection, isolating physical and mental health conditions, histories of trauma and abuse, and related difficulties. We address our communities’ needs with programs that facilitate true and lasting change in the lives of our participants. Through our core programs – the Community Building Center and RCI Village housing program – we provide housing, supportive services, and community and social connections for struggling residents of Allentown.
