About the NorthCoast Serve & Support Campaign
The NorthCoast Serve & Support Campaign is launching its first annual community effort rooted in service, stewardship, and preparedness. This inaugural year establishes the foundation for an ongoing campaign dedicated to equipping individuals and families across the "NorthCoast" Erie County, PA region with the training, resources, and support needed to face challenges with confidence and dignity.
Through hands-on preparedness training, coordinated fundraising, and the collection of essential goods, the campaign turns compassion into practical action. Funds and supplies raised directly support community readiness efforts, expand access to training, and provide critical resources to those who need them most.
The NorthCoast Serve & Support Campaign is guided by a belief that service is most meaningful when it is intentional, and that caring for others requires more than words alone. By committing to this campaign as an annual effort, we aim to strengthen our community through preparation, partnership, and a shared responsibility to serve one another well—year after year.
How We Support Our Community
Train
CPR & Narcan Training
Hands-on CPR and naloxone (Narcan) training designed to equip individuals with lifesaving skills they can use immediately. These sessions focus on recognition, response, and confident action during medical emergencies, empowering people to step in and help when every second counts.
Erie United Methodist Alliance
EUMA ends homelessness in Northwest Pennsylvania by making it rare, brief and one-time as Jesus would.
To assist in helping Erie United Methodist Alliance to serve our community, we are collecting donations. All proceeds will go directly to EUMA so that they can continue their mission of service.
You can also donate goods at the locations listed below to help those that are in need or sponsor someone to get trained in in CPR/First Aid/AED with additional skills development for the use of Narcan.

Sponsor Training
Training is provided via Household HQ as a Licensed Training Provider of the American Red Cross. Household HQ is donating time and coordinating efforts but certificates from the Red Cross are still required. To train one person in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED with Opioid Overdose and Naloxone Administration is $50.
Your donation sponsors those that care for our community's most vulnerable to get life saving training so that they can get back on their feet. Our goal of $1,800 in training would help train 36 people in our community that work or volunteer at shelters or warming locations.
Donations will be shared publicly on social media and other locations as a way to show our gratitude. You can learn more about American Red Cross Training from Household HQ by visiting our American Red Cross Page.
