September House and Feed The Vets have partnered in an ongoing project to crochet plastic mats for homeless people. Volunteers collect recycled plastic grocery bags and then, under the direction of Tippy Ness, the volunteers cut the bags into strips, join the strips to make “plarn,” and crochet the plarn into mats. The mats are given to Michael Gurreri of York Giving Helping Hands, CJ Hoffman and pastor Thomas Adinolfi for distribution to York County residents. The mats are used for waterproof ground covers and can be used for inside or underneath sleeping bags for those sleeping outside. It takes approximately 750 grocery bags to make one mat. Anyone interested in donating bags or participating in the cutting, joining, or crocheting may call September House at See Service Project pg 4

The 21st annual Pennsylvania Herb and Garden Festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, April 5, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 6. The event will be held in Memorial Hall at the York Expo Center, 334 Carlisle Ave., York. The two-day festival will include a full schedule of nationally known speakers, demonstrators, and instructors who are knowledgeable in gardening and using herbs and flowers for medicinal, culinary, and crafting purposes. The 2019 Herb of the Year is anise hyssop, a self-seeding perennial that works well in sunny borders, wildflower gardens, and herb gardens. The 2019 featured speaker will be Susan Belsinger, horticulturist, author, culinary herbalist, educator, food writer, photographer, blogger, and editor. Referred to as a flavor artist, Belsinger delights in kitchen alchemy - the blending of harmonious foods, herbs, and spices - to create food and beverages. See Festival pg 4
