Give the gift of transformation

Help neighbors create a better world.

 

Barrio Alegría is a collective of artists and neighbors dedicated to harnessing their innate creative energy to construct a more fulfilling and financially empowered Reading. Your gift to Barrio allows us to meet the greatest needs of Greater Reading neighbors. We are a trusted community resource that connects our people to each other, to their own potential and to capital. As a community hub, we cut through everyday rhetoric to deliver effective solutions, opportunities, and a sense of belonging to Reading’s neighbors, artists and entrepreneurs.

Can I help in any other way?
