A Gift That Does Good
... an intersection of history
For just $25 you can support Homeland and give a gift that will make your loved one feel warm from the inside out. Almost everyone has an elder who’s dear to their heart, and they can feel good knowing your purchase supports the Center’s work to provide excellent, personalized care. In 1866, nine Harrisburg churches, and two women from each congregation, came together to find a solution for the care of women and children left without support after the Civil War. This group established “The Society for the Home for the Friendless” which ultimately evolved in to what is now Homeland Center. Those nine churches are honored in the 2024 Homeland Lottery Calendar. Proceeds not only support the Center in never leaving a resident behind, but gives the recipient a chance to win prizes every day of the year.

FINE JEWELRY MAKES A TIMELESS GIFT Hi this is Christopher Munn, owner of Munn’s Diamond Gallery in Lemoyne. I invite you into our store at 12th and Market to see a unique selection of jewelry. We meet new people every day who come in and tell us how surprised they are to see such a refreshing and varied offering. Over the many years we’ve been in business we’ve had the privilege of serving multiple generations of families who honor us with their patronage. My designers have been creating and crafting quality jewelry for quite some time and I have to say that this past year has inspired daring designs. Some humble. Some bold. All having personal expression. I like to think that each of our pieces will find its person and live a happy life. If you were to give the gift of jewelry, say, a locket, what sentiment would you like to express? Jewelry helps you do that and each day your loved one wears it, it’s a reminder of that moment. And you. It’s pretty neat. It’s what we do. WWW.MUNNS.NET 1203 MARKET STREET LEMOYNE, PA 24 HARRISBURG MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2023
