Within Community Place on Washington (CPOW), a variety of services support people in the greater Elizabethtown area. But those programs rely on volunteers to provide the most care for the most people. “A good volunteer is a person who wants to give back to the community in a meaningful way,” said Dave Fritchman, volunteer coordinator for CPOW, located at 61 E. Washington St., Elizabethtown. “My main task is to recruit volunteers to staff the three United Churches of Elizabethtown (UCEA) programs - the Community Cupboard, the Community Closet and Meals on Wheels (MOW). Other volunteers are needed and recruited to maintain the Community Place on Washington.” Volunteers mow the lawns and weed the flower and vegetable gardens on-site, as well as remove snow from sidewalks. “At the Community Cupboard, the UCEA program which requires the greatest number of volunteers, positions include shopping assistants, stockroom attendants, donation pickup volunteers and volunteers who do organizing and cleaning tasks,” Fritchman shared. “As you can see, we need all kinds of volunteers and have volunteer opportunities for individuals who enjoy physical tasks, social tasks, etc.” Connie Trynovich, director of the UCEA Community Closet, said volunteers play a vital role in the organization’s operation. “In 2025 the closet served 719 adults and 250 children,” See Volunteers pg 5
