additional expenses that accompany this time of year can prove challenging for others. To combat this seasonal challenge, Water Street Mission launched its annual food drive on Nov. 1, and the organization is once again calling on Lancaster County residents to band together in support of their neighbors. “We already started to see an increase in demand for our programs in September, and we’re expecting another influx as the months get colder,” said Matt Clement, director of marketing for Water Street Mission. “We didn’t quite meet our goal last year, but we’re thankful that we got close. It really helped us make it through the winter.” The goal of this year’s drive is 110,000 pounds of food. Until Friday, Dec. 22, donations of nonperishable food items may be dropped off directly at Water Street Mission’s facility, which is located at 210 S. Prince St., Lancaster. Donors can bring items to the building’s loading dock during its regular hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. Donations may also be taken to any of the 30 drop-off locations that have been established through partnerships with businesses and organizations across the county. To view the list of requested items and drop-off locations or to host a drop-off location, visit https://tinyurl.com /wsmdrive2023. In addition to helping Water Street Mission to
withstand the wintertime wave, the food drive allows the organization to continue its many other outreach programs without diverting all of its resources. Water Street Mission’s emergency shelter provides housing for 170 individuals each night, and about 15%
of the guests are children. The organization’s other resources are utilized to maintain its building, medical and dental clinics and a dining hall that provides guests with three meals per day. The primary facility is staffed by nearly 100 workers to offer services around See Food bank pg 4

Schreiber client takes first ride on new elevator The Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development’s expansion project reached a pivotal moment as 10-year-old Isaiah Martin, a Schreiber client

diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta type 3, became the first client passenger on the newly installed elevator by Benchmark Construction, following its state inspection and certification. Isaiah, the center’s resident elevator enthusiast, was entrusted with the responsibility of inspecting the elevator to guarantee its flawless operation. Despite the challenges posed by his condition, Isaiah checked off every element on the inspector’s checklist provided by Benchmark Construction. The checklist consisted of essential elements such as functioning lights,
operational buttons, seamless opening and closing of doors, and a smooth up-and-down motion. Isaiah’s signature on the inspection form signifies not just an approval of the elevator’s functionality but also Schreiber’s commitment to providing its clients with a safe and inclusive environment where they may grow and thrive. Isaiah’s role in the inspection process exemplifies the core values of the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, where every individual’s passion and contribution are acknowledged and celebrated, regardless of challenges faced.
