Elizabethtown Fair To Hold Chicken Barbecue BY CATHY MOLITORIS

14th Annual EPC Golf Outing Will Benefit Good Samaritan Services BY COURTNEY MENGEL

n 2002, Good Samaritan Services (GSS) purchased its first property in Phoenixville, where it was able to serve five people at a time. Nineteen years later, GSS has acquired 13 different properties and can serve 200 people every day. GSS came to the Lancaster County area in 2011 after opening an emergency shelter in Ephrata, which provides housing for women and children. GSS provides a full continuum of care to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Some of the services offered by GSS include eviction prevention, emergency shelter, traditional housing, affordable housing, and permanent housing services across Lancaster and

“...There’s such a stigma that comes with homelessness, but it’s so far from the truth. Anyone can become homeless at the drop of a dime.” “Our organization is unique in that we can help people with stable housing regardless of where they are in their journey,” stated GSS development and communications coordinator Shadoe Caprell. “A lot of times, people who are homeless or

at risk of homelessness can’t receive assistance from agencies unless they reach the definition of homelessness. We can fill in the cracks.” Since July 2020, GSS has served nearly 400 men, women, and children through its emergency shelter, residential housing, and housing support programs; provided nearly $90,000 in rental assistance, including 18 eviction preventions; and helped 53 individuals and families successfully complete their programs and find stable housing. “I get to meet individuals in our shelter and hear their stories,” said Caprell. “They’re all such wonderful, beautiful people. There’s such a stigma that comes with homelessness, but it’s so far from the truth. Anyone can become homeless at the drop of a dime.” Ninety-seven percent of GSS’ funding comes from community donations and fundraisers such as the annual Engle Printing & Publishing Co., Inc. (EPC) Golf Outing. The 14th annual EPC Golf Outing will take place on Friday, June 11, at Crossgates Golf Club, 1 Crossland Pass, Millersville, with tee times at 7 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Meals, beverages, and snacks will be provided, and participants will have chances to win prizes throughout the golf course. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to GSS.

For years, Jody Cutting has participated in the Discovery Toys Easter Basket Program, which provides Easter baskets to children in need throughout the United States and Canada. This year, the Discovery Toys Play Advisor shifted her focus to her local community. Working with Elizabethtown Area School District social worker Jenn Fields, Cutting collected donations to fill 22 baskets for children and families in the district.

Chester counties. The organization’s end goal is to empower people to feel confident and capable enough to maintain their own safe and stable housing.

After a year when most events were canceled, the Elizabethtown Fair committee is eager to get back in action. “We’ll be doing things a little differently than past years, with masks and social distancing, but we are ready. The public is ready for the fair to come back. Everybody is ready,” said Sally Nolt, fair secretary. “It’s really exciting.” Fundraising is a big part of the preparation for the fair, which will run from Monday, Aug. 23, through

Saturday, Aug. 28. The Elizabethtown Fair will hold its 35th annual chicken barbecue on Saturday, May 8, at the Elizabethtown Fairgrounds, 900 E. High St. It will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be a drive-through pickup. The meal will include a half-chicken, donated by Wenger Feeds and prepared by Harvey’s Main Street BBQ; potato chips contributed by Herr’s; applesauce provided by Charles & Alice; a roll, donated by Pepperidge Farm; a dessert, contributed by Mars Wrigley Confectionery; and a beverage, provided by Swiss Premium Dairy Inc. Land O’Lakes will provide butter. “This is our only fundraiser for the fair,” Nolt explained. “We usually hope to raise about $10,000.” Proceeds from the barbecue will be used to cover fair expenses such as paying for operation costs including electricity and insurance as well as premium money.
