The Story Behind OPAT
One Project at a Time came out of an idea that has been forming for the past decade. When we look at the totality of poverty in the world, it is easy to throw our hands up in the air and declare, "I can't do anything about that." But you can...
OPAT has developed specific projects that are profound and long term so anyone, absolutely ANYONE can make a significant impact on

Ty Monroe County Habitat for posting this. For those who can help, these resources might become overwhelmed. Not only will they need donations of food, but they might need to serve 3 times the people in the same timeframe they normally operate. This means they might need more volunteers! For every food pantry meal provided, SNAP provides 9! So if you can help, these pantries will need your time, talent or treasure.

We are absolutely thrilled a local Pocono church is taking 6 of our purifying water filters to Liberia, Africa. That’s up to 6 million gallons of clean purified water. That can change the health of a couple generations of a family or village. Such a blessing!!!

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving. May you take this time out of your busy life to breathe, relax, and give thanks for family, friends, and all of the beautiful things in your life that can often be overlooked when life becomes to busy to stop and reflect and appreciate them. May you receive many blessings!

Governor Shapiro has just signed into legislation an income limit of $45,000 for seniors & those with disabilities to qualify for their property tax rebate. They can also now receive a maximum rebate of up to $1,000, which was previously a maximum of $650. Their annual cost of living adjustment with their social security that was much needed, yet still not keeping up with the cost of inflation, was gradually pushing them out from qualifying for this rebate. Yet, the school districts in Monroe County, which also offer a local property tax rebate, have income limits set, depending on what district, from $20,000 to $35,000. Our seniors who live on fixed incomes could really use some assistance. If the governor sees it fit to increase the income ceiling to qualify for the rebate, so should our local districts. Let’s advocate for our seniors & reach out to our local school boards to increase their income limits for the local rebate.
