In the late 1960’s, two dear friends, Jane Stearns and Beulah Harper, joined forces to provide food and rides to those in need in the Western Upper Montgomery County. From this humble start a small non-profit, WUMCO Help, grew. Financial assistance services were added, the pantry was housed in a large garage, and the office pre-empted the living room of the home of Jane and her husband Fred. The organization continued to grow, was incorporated and received non-profit status from the IRS.
