CROP Hunger Walk Planned In Stewartstown The Stewartstown Area CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday, Oct. 20, with goals of 35 walkers, five teams, and $3,500 collected. The event aims to help end hunger and poverty, and all funds raised will go toward longterm sustainable approaches to significantly reduce or eliminate hunger. A portion of the funds raised at the Stewartstown walk will go to the food pantry of Mason-Dixon Community Services in Delta. Last year, 39 walkers raised $3,267 through the CROP Hunger Walk. Stewartstown Presbyterian Church, 14 College Ave., Stewartstown, will mark the starting point for the CROP Hunger Walk, with registration at 1 p.m. There will be a choice of three route distances, starting at just under a mile. Additionally,
snack-packing events will take place just before and after the walk. This hands-on project will provide Mason-Dixon Ministries with readily available snacks for clients it serves. The Stewartstown Area CROP Hunger Walk committee is seeking teams of walkers and sponsors of cash or inkind donations. Readers may contact judygrove@verizon.net or 717-741-4366 for more information, to register a team of walkers, or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities. CROP Hunger Walks help teach sustainable ways to grow food and provide additional sources of food and income to families facing extreme challenges.

Every summer, the Southern Branch YMCA of York and York County provides activities and programs that allow Camp Discovery campers the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. This year, 113 campers and 11 chaperones took a special Northern Central Railway - Steam Into History excursion through the countryside on the Glen Rock Express on July 11 to learn more about the historic railway that dates back to the late 1820s. Campers rode along with a 1957 Pennsylvania GP 9 at what is known as the only place where an original Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive runs on a genuine Pennsylvania rail line. In addition, the campers were treated to a magical performance by Dr. Marc Charisse, the Professor of Prestidigitation, during their excursion. Camp Discovery provides a camp experience for children of all ages. Staff provide a safe environment to enhance the core values of the YMCA: faith, hope, love, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Camp Discovery activities include field trips, science lessons, swimming, sports, arts and humanities, and activities that
