What Do Wegmans, Computer Aid, Yianni's & the Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Dealers Have In Common?

Oct. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Lehigh Valley, PA…Creativity and the desire to help those less fortunate is what it takes to help non-profits make it through these tough economic times and the Lehigh Valley has no shortage of these “do gooders.”

At times like these, when people have less to give and are giving less, there is some great entrepreneurial fundraising and volunteering taking place on behalf of area non-profits such as Easter Seals Eastern PA--a community organization that has supported the Lehigh Valley for almost 90 years.  

Good people will always look for ways to feel and be productive.  Following are examples of those who are making a difference.

•Greater Lehigh Valley Area Dealers Association (GLVADA)

•Yianni’s Taverna
