What We’re Doing?

Mission Empower is continuing to monitor developments with COVID-19, and following guidelines and recommendations set by the CDC, local, and state government officials. Our top priority is always the safety and security of our families, employees, and the Erie Community.  With the COVID-19 virus threat evolving rapidly, our number one priority remains the health and safety of our families.

At this time our office remains closed to visitors, but we can be reached by email or voicemail.  Our staff is checking in regularly and working from home to ensure your needs are still being met.   (Phone 814-825-0788)

We will continue to monitor the situation and are committed to providing our families with regular updates!
