Charity Auction
Welcome to the ProBerco Charity Auction!
TOGETHER, we are reaching beyond expectations to create opportunities for adults with disabilities living and working in Berks County. Proceeds from the auction will be used to support ProBerco in its mission to provide innovative supports for people with developmental disabilities. By providing housing solutions, training and employment opportunities individuals can experience greater independence in our community.
