We help maintain the platform you run on.

Not sponsorship. Not a logo on a conference banner. Governance, maintenance, and commits, under our own names.

Why it matters to you

Platform involvement is more than altruism on our part. It’s early visibility into every change that could affect your store, and a say in the direction. You benefit from that whether you think about it or not.

Giving back

Community, closer to home.

The platform work is one kind of community. This is the other: helping shape the next generation, honoring those who served, and supporting our neighbors in the Lancaster area.

Girls Code Club

Introducing girls to programming through the Lancaster Science Factory.

Wild Bill Memorial Fund

Honoring William “Wild Bill” Guarnere, the Philadelphia WWII veteran of Band of Brothers.

Centerville Pet Rescue

Supporting a local animal rescue and the neighbors who run it.

Centerville Run for Education

Supporting the annual run that raises funds for local schools.

Penn Manor Summer Lunch Program

Making sure kids don't go hungry, even when school is out.

The platform has a future. So should your store.
