Helping to lessen the financial burden of buying school supplies, members of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Marietta will hold the Tools 4 School giveaway on Saturday, Aug. 10. The giveaway will take place at the church, 1290 River Road, Marietta, from 9 to 11 a.m.
Suzette McCarty, who is organizing the event, said the faces of the students who come in are unforgettable. “You can see how much the students - and the parents - appreciate it,” she noted.
“School supplies are expensive, and when you have a family with two, three or more students, it really hits them hard.”
Students of all ages are invited to come to the giveaway and get
what they need. “Students first pick out a backpack. We have different colors and different sizes,” McCarty said. “Then they go down the line of school supplies filling their backpacks. We have pocket folders, (paper) tablets, colored pencils, crayons, markers, pencils, pens, rulers, erasers.”
Students may also browse used books and select a free book or two.
With a motto of “lettuce learn outside,” Heritage Creek Farm & Education Center combines hands-on fun with agricultural lessons at a family-owned and family-operated farm in Mount Joy.
“We live in a fast-paced age of technology where a lifestyle rooted in the simplicity of farm life is like finding a pearl in an oyster,” said Cindi Hughes,
owner and director of education at Heritage Creek. “Children are growing up without experiencing the wonders of nature. The art of growing our own food is becoming a lost tradition, in need of revitalization.”
To help people understand their connection to the land, Heritage Creek offers a variety of programs, including summer farm camp for children ages 5 to 12, a summer teen leadership program, a homeschool

Donations to support youth mentoring programs
McCullough selected for business leadership program
The Touchstone Foundation recently awarded Youth Mentorship Partnership funds. This new program supports training to allow staff members and volunteers to become mentors for youth mental wellness in Lancaster County. The Touchstone Foundation has awarded a total of $47,000 to Bench Mark Program, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region, and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Lancaster County.
receive mentoring.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region’s evidence-based program creates and supports oneto-one mentoring relationships. The new funds will support the organization’s High School Bigs Program for elementary and middle school students in need of a special mentoring friendship; the students have demonstrated the need for enhanced social skills or feel isolated from their peers. An estimated 100 youths will receive mentoring.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation has announced that Carrie McCullough, assistant director of the Lancaster County Workforce Development Board, was selected to participate in the 10th cohort of the foundation’s business leadership program.
Bench Mark Program is a strength-based family of mentors supporting highly at-risk youths through community-based intervention and diversion initiatives. Using the funds from the Touchstone Foundation, the program will seek to enhance the effectiveness of mentoring services available to at-risk youths within Bench Mark Program’s open gym, where both individual and group services are available. An estimated 47 youths will
CASA provides a court-appointed volunteer advocate to every child who is abused and neglected to ensure children have a safe, nurturing, and permanent home. The organization’s Older Youth Mentorship Project will provide advocates with mentorship training so they can assist older youths in becoming self-sufficient, independent adults. The program will seek to bridge the barriers to success and connectivity to the community. An estimated 275 youths will receive mentorship support.
In total, the three organizations estimate they will serve 422 Lancaster County youths with mentoring in the coming year.
Last year, the Touchstone Foundation completed a youth listening tour and parent feedback survey, which revealed that many youths welcome the opportunity to connect with a trained, safe, supportive adult mentor. The three partner organizations will seek to ensure youth safety through mandated reporter training to prevent child abuse, complete Youth Mental Health First Aid training for adults working with youths, and ensure that mentors understand trauma-informed care to support youth growth and development through adversity.
The Touchstone Foundation’s mission is to elevate youth mental wellness in Lancaster County. The foundation seeks to build the talent pipeline in mental health care, increase access to youth mental health services, and create awareness and education about youth mental wellness.
The Business Leads Fellowship Program trains and equips leaders from state and local chambers of commerce, economic development agencies, and trade associations with resources, access to experts, and a network of peers to build their capacity to address education and workforce challenges.
Upon completion of the program, Business Leads Fellows will join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s network of more than 350 chambers of commerce and statewide associations from across the nation who regularly engage on education and workforce initiatives.
For more information on the Business Leads Fellowship Program, visit https://business leads.uschamberfounda tion.org/.
Following a competitive application and selection process, McCullough was chosen along with 34 other state and local chamber of commerce executives, economic development professionals, and association leaders to participate in Business Leads. The eight-month program, consisting of both in-person and virtual meetings, will cover the entire talent pipeline, including early childhood education, kindergarten through 12th-grade education, postsecondary education, and workforce development.

Proceeds from the chicken barbecue will benefit student scholarships, community events and Chamber functions.
“Buying tickets for the Chamber’s fundraiser not only means you’ll enjoy a delicious, hassle-free meal, but you’ll also be helping your friends’ and neighbors’ businesses thrive,” said Rachel Stebbins, Mount Joy Borough community and economic development coordinator and grant writer and also a member of the Chamber board. “The money raised stays right here in our community, funding networking events and activities that keep the town buzzing and support local livelihoods.”
Giant is the major sponsor of the chicken barbecue.
“Without the community’s support, we wouldn’t be able to offer the resources that help make Mount Joy such a fantastic place to live and work,” Stebbins shared.
Tickets for the barbecue may be purchased at JB Hostetter & Sons, 1225 W. Main St., Mount Joy; the Milanof-Schock Library; the Chamber office, 62 E.

Saturday we will have outdoor lawn games - some of which will be added to the library circulation for patrons to borrow after the event.”
Each evening will feature different events and entertainment.

AUGUST 8-21, 2024
“We hold a fundraiser event every year, but this year is extra special as it’s our 25th year with the name Milanof-Schock Library, the 25th year in our current location, the 25th year of the Friends of Milanof-Schock Library,” Funk said, noting that it is also the 60th year that the library has been in Mount Joy. The festivities are sponsored by Hershey Heating & Air Conditioning.
“We encourage everyone to come out and support the library while also having fun,” she said. “You’ll have an opportunity to celebrate the history of the library, to celebrate 25 years of Milanof-Schock Library as we know it today, while helping build the foundation for the next 25 years.”

Club posts meetings, trips
Guys and Dolls has announced upcoming monthly meetings and bus trips. The group, for persons over age 50, meets in the gymnasium at St. Philip the Apostle Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster.
enrichment program and after-school clubs, field trips and private group tours held year-round and a Community Supported Agriculture program.
program manager of the Farm to School Network.
Meetings will take place from September to June on select Mondays at 1 p.m. unless otherwise noted. The fee, payable at the door, includes entertainment and snacks.
“People of all ages often feel disconnected from their food sources and with more information, they are more equipped to make choices that benefit them, the planet and the farmers who work so hard to produce the food they eat. Teaching kids about agriculture helps them build healthy habits and form connections to farming that will last into adulthood.”
“Through teaching a broad approach to farming, we hope people will see food production through a new set of eyes and understand the way food is grown has a direct correlation to food quality and nutritional value,” Cindi shared. “Our intention is to sow the seeds of a new generation of farmers and consumers that value the way food is grown. … The fruits of our labors are evident in the bountiful harvest that creates a strong sense of community. Our successes are measured in teachable moments that connect people to the earth and to the origin of their food.”
Although Heritage Creek is a first-generation farm, Cindi comes from a long line of ancestors who valued the importance of growing and preserving their own food. Her husband, Ed, has a background in the automotive and farm equipment industries and teaches STEM-focused programs on the farm.
Cindi noted that the farm-to-school movement has increased in popularity in the past decade. Heritage Creek partnered with the PA Farm to School Network, a nonprofit organization working to connect children to local agriculture, to host the network’s Summer Institute earlier this summer at the farm. Administrators and educators from schools throughout the state attended to be immersed in and inspired by farm-based education.
“Everyone should have the opportunity to learn where their food comes from,” said Lauren Rosse,
Heritage Creek’s curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including land stewardship, STEM, environmental literacy, fiber arts, kitchen arts and cooperative work.
“I hope to get kids thinking outside of the box, to reimagine the way we can grow food,” said Aidan Fife, farmer and farm educator at Heritage Creek. “During my activities, our young farmers get their hands in the dirt and can experientially see the value in planting diverse crops, integrating trees on the landscape and incorporating the farm into a larger ecosystem.”
The goals of Heritage Creek include sparking an interest in agriculture, encouraging students to ask questions about their role in the environment and getting kids outdoors.
“Children need to spend more quality time outside in nature,” said Ed. “If they go home from Farm Camp tired, dirty and knowing how carrots and potatoes grow, we are successful! Bonus points come from knowing they can grow their own food if they choose to.”

Former Farm Show queens
invited to reunion
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
The Manheim Farm Show will turn 70 this year, and in honor of that anniversary, all former Farm Show queens are invited to a reunion.
“We would like all former queens to come to the opening ceremonies on Monday, Oct. 7, at 6:30 p.m. to be recognized as former queens,” said Denise Hess, junior queen coordinator and member of the Farm Show queen committee.
“This will be after opening ceremonies and before we crown the new queen.”
Former queens are also invited to ride on a float in the Farm Show parade on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
The Farm Show held the first queen contest in 1955. The competition is open to any female between the ages of 16 and 20 who resides in or attends Manheim Central, Donegal, Hempfield, Elizabethtown or Warwick school districts.
“Once the queen is crowned, she will reign over the Farm Show, interacting with adults and children who attend the show,” Hess stated. Queens also attend all of the livestock competitions and hand out ribbons to the winners as well as attending the bake sale and auction at the Farm Show, among other responsibilities.
“Another major requirement of the queen is to represent the Manheim Farm Show at the State Fair Queen competition in Hershey, Pa., in Jan -

This is the church’s 16th year for the giveaway, which is always well-received by the community, McCarty said. More than 150 students received backpacks and school supplies last year.

There is no registration for the giveaway, she noted, adding that
uary,” Hess said. “The queen committee works with our candidate in the weeks leading up to the competition, teaching her skills that are needed for the competition.”
Other duties of the queen include teaching children about an aspect of agriculture through an Ag in the Classroom presentation.
Hess is hoping for a large turnout of former queens at this year’s Farm Show.
“We would love to have former queens come and join the celebration with the other former queens, be recognized for their contribution to Farm Show, and to encourage young girls to enter the Farm Show queen competition,” she said.
“If any former queen has any of their queen memorabilia - sash, crown, etc. - we would love for them

making sure children have one item from each of the five food groups. Ideas for a balanced lunchbox include English muffins, sliced ham, carrots, strawberries, a cheese stick, wheat crackers, hummus, sugar snap peas, clementines and nonfat Greek yogurt.
Second, lunches should contain protein. Protein helps keep stomachs full and minds focused. When thinking about breakfast, lunch and snacks, include quick and easy foods like lunch meat, cheese, nut butters, Greek yogurt or hard-boiled eggs.
The third tip is to get colorful. Colorful fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients. Entice kids with daily color challenges to encourage produce variety. For example, Monday’s lunch can focus on red foods, Tuesday’s meal can feature orange foods, and so on.
Fourth, parents should stock convenience items. Be prepared with pre-sliced apple packs,
granola bars, applesauce pouches and trail mixes available for grab-and-go after-school snacks, and load up on frozen waffles and pancakes, fruit cups, oatmeal pouches and drinkable yogurts for easy breakfasts.
The fifth tip is to make dinner easy. Balanced dinners do not have to be elaborate. Keep it simple on busy weeknights with tried-and-true winners like breakfast for dinner or sandwiches with no-cook sides.
Giant’s dietitians also offer easy meal and snack ideas and recipes, simplified with five or fewer ingredients, at www .giantfoodstores.com /pages/back-to-school -dietitian-picks.

Program to focus on Wheatland grounds
CREMATION
LancasterHistory will host “Discovering a Gentleman’s Farm: A History of the Wheatland Grounds” on Saturday, Aug. 10, at 10 a.m. The program will explore the history and functionality of the grounds where James Buchanan, the 15th president of the United States, lived as a gentleman farmer from 1848 to 1868. Museum associate Stephanie Celiberti will
lead the event, beginning with a 40-minute presentation in Ryder Hall. The presentation will provide an in-depth look at how the 22.5 acres of meadows, orchards, gardens, and green spaces of Wheatland were utilized during Buchanan’s residence at the property. Following the presentation, attendees may ask questions and participate in an optional outdoor tour of the
Wheatland grounds to see the areas discussed in the presentation.
To purchase tickets, visit www.lancasterhistory.org or call 717-392-4633. Tickets may not be available at the door, so advance registration is encouraged.
