At Local Monument, Honoring Veterans Is an Unwavering Service
BY JEFF FALK
The service of United States veterans is a tradition, a legacy. The passing of that responsibility from one member of the brotherhood to the next, from one generation to a successor, represents a continuum.
That understated, unwavering physical presence is commemorated, remembered and celebrated locally by the Veterans Monument of ELANCO.
“It reminds me of all the local veterans who volunteered to join branches of the military to defend
our freedom,” said Dave Stern, president of the Veterans Monument of ELANCO foundation.
“When I look at it, I feel pride, sadness and grief.”
“The experience is highly personal, and there’s a mixture of emotions at the area,” said Dale Mendenhall, treasurer of the foundation. “There are also feelings of

Grant Reinforces North Star Initiative’s Mission
BY JEFF FALK
Within the complex world of nonprofits there exists a separate, supportive world - the world of grants.
Subsidized by philanthropic foundations, organizations and businesses, financial grants serve a very practical purpose. But also associated with grants are this connectivity piece and a very specific affirming element.
“Anytime we receive a grant it’s a communication of trust,” said Melinda Clark, who’s been the CEO of North Star Initiative (NSI) for three years. “It means that people and organizations see the importance of our mission. It means we can do amazing work for (human trafficking survivors), and they’re flourishing. It’s a vote of confidence and support for our mission.”

Food-Sharing Box Opens at Poole Forge
BY FRANCINE FULTON
People in need of nonperishable food items are invited to visit Pumpkin’s Pantry, the new food-sharing box that was put into place at Historic Poole Forge, 1940 Main St., Narvon (Churchtown). The pantry is named for the site’s resident cat.
The food pantry box, which was donated by Churchtown Therapeutic Massage, currently contains nonperishables, including canned soup, peanut butter and applesauce, as well as boxed goods like cereal. The pantry is located next to the site’s book-sharing box, and it is available during Poole Forge’s operating hours, from dawn to dusk.
“It is weather resistant, and I wanted something that was dignified for people to help (themselves),” said Dawn Ekdahl, Poole Forge executive director.
The box is emblazoned with the words “Take if you need” and “Give if you can.” “We want people to donate things,” said Ekdahl. “Even small contributions make a difference.”
Ekdahl noted that only nonperishable food items that are not expired or open should be placed in the box. She said the box is ideal for senior citizens on a fixed income or for a family facing an unexpected hardship.
Ekdahl announced the opening of Pumpkin’s Pantry at www.facebook.com/pooleforge, where she stated, “Even one or two items make a real impact. Next time you’re at the store, grab an extra can of soup, a box of pasta or a jar of peanut butter. Small acts of kindness create lasting change.”
Ekdahl added that Pumpkin,

who spends the day roaming the grounds but sleeps indoors in the park office at night, is well-known to many visitors. “She is a great ambassador,” said Ekdahl. “In the summertime, she will hang out with people (visiting Poole Forge) who are picnicking or reading a book. She loves people, and she is well loved.”
“Pumpkin showed up as a little orange furball kitten 7 years ago in October. Hence the name Pumpkin,” Ekdahl added. “She is spayed,vaccinated and chipped.”
Historic Poole Forge is located on Route 23, 7 miles east of New Holland and 3 miles east of the Shady Maple Complex.

peace and connection. We feel it represents pride and patriotism.”
In late October, the foundation, which maintains the patriotic memorial located at 400 E. Jackson St., New Holland, added two new commemorative plaques to the existing five that were already part of the Veterans Monument of ELANCO. Added were a 17-inch circular plaque inscribed “1945 Cold War Service 1991” and a 17-inch square plaque commemorating the United States’ war on terrorism campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan and recognizing the service of

every branch of the military.
To mount the new cast bronze plaques, holes were drilled into the granite on one side of the octagon memorial; the plaques were then attached with epoxy.
“We didn’t want to put the names of deceased veterans on them because we didn’t want to miss anyone,” said Stern, himself a 10-year Army veteran. “A lot of veterans came back, but some didn’t. They took the time; they volunteered and fought for our country. We appreciate that.”
The two new plaques were

created by Art Design Group, a Lancaster business that specializes in memorials, sculptures, awards and public art. The foundation raised funds for the plaques for years through community donations and benefit bingos.
“It was expensive,” said Stern. “All I’ll say is that it was less than $10,000.”
“It’s good to honor our veterans because we wouldn’t have the freedoms we have today if it wasn’t for them,” said Ann Brill, the secretary of Veterans Monument of ELANCO and a resident of New Holland.

Some of the projects are bigger, and some are just maintenance. Dave’s really good at checking on it and checking in.”
Atkins Deck Treatment Service of Leola donates time and energy to pressure-wash the Veterans Monument of ELANCO, while B.J. Baldwin Electric of Narvon donates services and materials to keep the memorial’s lighting and electrical system bright and shining. Stern raises and lowers the flags as needed and replaces them every year.
Shoes & Boots For The Whole Family
Constructed in the 1980s in New Holland Community Memorial Park, the Veterans Monument of ELANCO was officially dedicated in 1990 and then restored in 2013. The eight-sided monument is accented by three benches and illuminating poles flying “Old Glory” and the POW/MIA flag.
The monument’s original five plaques honor sacrifices made in World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam and by the six branches of the military - Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Space Force and Army.
“It’s basically a timeline,” said Stern, a resident of New Holland. “The monument is not focused on just one era.”
“It’s a really nice monument,” said Mendenhall, a resident of New Holland. “I think all of it matches really well. It’s our job to maintain it and make sure it’s maintained.
The monument is also decorated for various holidays.
“I wouldn’t say it’s difficult to maintain,” said Stern. “It’s just keeping up with things.”
“It’s honoring (veterans) and their personal sacrifices,” said Mendenhall. “It acknowledges the value of their duty and honors them, even when their service is complete.”
Stern, Mendenhall and Brill are all active members of New Holland American Legion Post 662. But the Legion is not directly associated with the Veterans Monument of ELANCO.
“I came from a military family,” said Stern. “When I went in, it seemed like a career choice. It feels like you’re part of something bigger and you’re defending our nation. I’d say people are acknowledging our service. Veterans are getting more respect than they used to get, and I want to see that continue.”

Andrew
210 Musser Rd., East Earl. From
individuals who have been victims of human trafficking, received a $15,000 grant for daily operations from B.J.’s Wholesale Club, which is headquartered in Marlborough, Mass., and operates a local location at 110 Centerville Road, Lancaster. The grant process, which was initiated by a local supporter and volunteer of NSI, took about four months to complete.
After B.J.’s Wholesale Club invited NSI to apply for the grant, NSI composed a formal grant proposal and submitted it, after which the request was granted.
“It’s a big part of our annual budget and a grant we haven’t gotten before,” said Clark. “To have a local tie to a national business is meaningful. I’d say that it’s larger than average. It’s a really big deal to us.”
“B.J.’s has a deep commitment to supporting families in the communities where we live and work,” said Kirk Saville, B.J.’s Wholesale Club’s head of corporate communications. “We are honored to continue supporting the organizations our team members care about most and to live our purpose of taking care of families who depend on us.”
With assistance and input from Clark, NSI development director April Miller wrote and composed the B.J.’s Wholesale Club grant application in about six hours.
To this point of 2025, NSI has applied for 13 total financial grants,
five of which were approved and four of which were declined, while the status of the other four have yet to be determined. NSI is planning to apply for three more grants before the end of the year.
“April was primarily responsible for this B.J.’s Wholesale Club grant,” said Clark. “We want to make sure it’s a match. In B.J.’s case, we were recommended to them; they invited us to provide an extensive application of what the money would be used for. We had to be clear we were doing things that fit their purposes. By their bylaws, they have to make donations. We have to be a committed nonprofit doing good work in a cause. We want human trafficking to end. If we can show we’re truly making a difference, we’re also providing an opportunity that grant makers are looking for.”
Grants represent about 10% of NSI’s annual operating budget. The largest source of NSI’s funding - about 50% - comes from the local community, including business donations, private donations and fundraising efforts.
Typically, the grants that NSI receives range between $3,000 and $50,000.
“There are so many grant-making entities,” said Clark, a resident of East Hempfield Township. “There are a lot of philanthropists who have some funds and are looking for specific causes. They have a heart to be generous to the causes that matter to them.
It’s become competitive because there are so many nonprofits. There are always opportunities for generosity to causes that matter to you.”
“The grant programs are important to us, and they can come in chunks,” added Clark. “Grant funding is exciting, and it makes a difference, but a lot of grant makers don’t fund daily operations.”
With a focus on assisting survivors of human trafficking in Lancaster and Berks counties, NSI provides services like job training, an emergency shelter, restoration and continuing support of
graduates. NSI employs 24 workers, seven on a full-time basis and 17 on a part-time basis, and benefits from the service of as many volunteers.
“A grant like this is really an expression of confidence,” said Clark. “This work is so crucial, and the way we do it is excellent. Anytime we receive a grant it’s affirmation. But everything we do is because of community funding. Most of our funding comes from local people. We exist because the whole community is behind us.”
