The Improved Milton Experience (TIME), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, invites you to support our collaborative campaign to create opportunity and innovation for residents of the Greater Susquehanna Valley region.
This capital campaign is divided into the following projects that enhance regional collaboration and honors the past, present, and future of our Central Pennsylvania communities:
DONATION CENTER | CLIENT SERVICES | PUBLIC RETAIL STORE
Project 1:
DIG Furniture Bank
TIME is partnering with DIG Furniture Bank, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that restores dignity and promotes stability by redirecting gently used furniture and household items to local families in need. DIG is subleasing 9,000 sq ft of 13 Front Street / 14 Elm Street from TIME under the agreement that they will collaborate to conduct renovations of this historic downtown building. Support towards this project will be invested in the remodel and ongoing operational sustainability of this much-needed service for our region.
Sponsorships for this Project are in direct collaboration with and supports the expansion of DIG Furniture Bank, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides gently used furniture and household items to local families in need.
Project 2:
Degenstein Downtown Center
Adjacent to DIG, TIME has leased another building on South Front Street in downtown Milton to renovate for the benefit of the community. The Degenstein Downtown Center, named in honor of our Legacy Sponsors at The 1994 Charles B. Degenstein Foundation, will be the new home of Bucknell’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) StartUp Milton regional business incubator and office space as well as the Central PA MakerShop, which is a retail center for items produced in the Central PA MakerSpace.

Project 3:
Milton Community Center*
The original Moose Lodge in downtown Milton hosts a variety of TIME’S community-centerd programming, such as Chef’s Place & The Chef Boyardee Museum, the Jungle Teen Center, and the Milton Model Train Museum, while still operating Moose Lodge No. 171. A gift towards this project will sustain the maintenance and renovations of this long-time community building while also supporting its programs.
Project 4:
Center for Environmental Studies*
TIME has acquired the former Milton Municipal Building on South Front Street, along the Susquehanna River, to renovate into a space for regional studies in partnership with Bucknell University. This Project will support expanded educational opportunities for Bucknell students studying the local cultural and environmental past and present through this unique future Field Station.
