Rotary Club Awards Grants To Nonprofits Uptown York Rotary Club (UYRC) awarded a total of $3,500 in grants to four nonprofit organizations to help support the York community. This is the first time in the club’s eight-year history that grant applications were solicited from the public. Susquehanna Service Dogs (SSD) was awarded $500 toward the education of trainers and handlers in York County. SSD provides service dogs for people with mobility problems, autism, post-traumatic stress disorder, hearing impairment, and other conditions. Some dogs act as facility dogs while others provide seizure response, in-home service, or companionship. Bell Socialization Services was the recipient of a $1,000 grant to stock overthe-counter medications and diabetes monitoring kits to help alleviate general physical ailments for adults, children, and

infants in residence at Bell Family Shelter. Having cough or cold medicine available for an adult going to a job or housing interview can make a significant difference for the families at the shelter. Edgar Fahs Smith STEAM Academy, part of York City School District, received $1,000 toward an outdoor classroom designed by the students. The classroom will be filled with native plants that will be transferred to community gardens in York city. Students who attend the STEAM Academy live in urban settings with limited access to hands-on gardening and sustainable living opportunities. Through participation in this project, students will be educated on creating and maintaining a healthy community for both the native wildlife and residents of the city of York. See Grants pg 3

Libraries Offer Food For Fines Program York County Libraries will make a trade with library members who have late fees through its Food for Fines program. Through Friday, May 31, York County Libraries will reduce a library cardholder’s late fees by one dollar for each nonperishable item the cardholder donates at one of the libraries. The food drive provides members with a way to erase their late fees and help feed hungry community members at the same time.

Food collected during the month will be distributed to area food banks and organizations across York County. All food donations should be nonperishable items in cans, boxes, bags, or pouches. In the past, individuals have donated items such as cereal, soup, rice, beans, macaroni and cheese, juice, peanut butter, and canned meats like tuna, chicken, and salmon that do not require refrigeration prior to opening.
