Our Programs

Since the summer of 2017, Wildheart has been working within the area between Paxton Street to State Street on the north and south and Cameron Street to South 19th Street to the east and west. This area of Harrisburg is home to 16.917 residents* of the City of Harrisburg, making up nearly 34% of the total population. Allison Hill is located entirely within Zip Code 17104 and also encompasses Census Tract 213, the poorest and most ethnically diverse CT within the City of Harrisburg. All Wildheart programs are centered on building bridges within our community and are offered to all Allison Hill residents and homes.
