Ways to Support Our Mission
JPH is a community healing hub. We believe that preventative wellbeing is the core of community resilience. This healing space will draw you in and heal the corners of yourself you maybe didn't even know needed healing. But beyond that, you'll gain a community. What truly makes JPH so special is that everyone who walks through our doors is welcomed and part of our organization - wherever they are.
There are so many ways to help us on our mission, from donations to volunteering and everything in between. Be part of something bigger.

The James P. Harrington Organization (JPH), established in 2022, is a nonprofit dedicated to fostering a nurturing and inclusive community of wellness, healing, and transformation. Through free and low-cost holistic programs and resources, JPH is committed to advancing community mental health and improving whole-family well-being. Our offerings include mindfulness and stress reduction, wellness programs for caregivers, women’s workforce training, creative and community-building events, and more, all designed to strengthen resilience, connection, and overall well-being. Situated on 9.3 acres at Ferry Hill, the historic property features a barn, an attached building, and a cottage, providing a peaceful retreat with a long history of supporting families, youth programs, and opportunities to connect with nature. JPH continues this critical work, dedicated to creating meaningful programs that enhance the well-being of adults and children across the community.

Hear From Our Volunteers
"A couple of years ago, I was searching for a positive place to volunteer, give back, etc. I had been finding it quite difficult find a volunteer home after moving back to the area from New York City. Thanks to social media, I saw an organization offering Yoga Nidra near my home. I went and loved the space. I went back for a Holiday Fair. JPH at Ferry Hill seemed to be a very special place. I hesitatingly started to spend time there, volunteering, and attending different offerings. Today, I am a bona-fide member of JPH’s beautiful community, in every way. Very blessed and grateful."
Hear From Our Volunteers
"I came across JPH through a post from a friend who mentioned they were looking for volunteers. At the time, I was unemployed and searching for a place where I could belong — somewhere I could be part of a community. I didn’t know much about JPH beyond what I’d seen on their website, but the day I went in for orientation, I instantly felt comfort and connection.
Every week I spent there, I felt more and more a part of the community and became empowered to keep moving forward. I realized that I wasn’t just helping JPH — I was helping myself. Through volunteering, I gained new opportunities, skills, and confidence that I’ll carry with me forever."
