Virtual Convoy Scheduled For Aug. 16 By Ann Mead Ash
In April, COVID-19 restrictions put Make-AWish of Philadelphia, Delaware and Susquehanna Valley, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening diseases, in a precarious position. Concern for the children served by Make-A-Wish, who fall into high-risk categories, was of the utmost importance. Wishes were postponed, and the popular Mother’s Day Convoy, which was ready to make a move to the Manheim Auto Auction, was postponed. The convoy is now scheduled as a virtual event to be held on Sunday, Aug. 16. In the meantime, Make-A-Wish needed to raise funds, preparing to grant more than 450 local wishes when the organization is able. To make those wishes come true, the organization See Make-A-Wish pg 6
Make-A-Wish of Philadelphia, Delaware and Susquehanna Valley grants the wishes of children with life-threatening diseases. While COVID-19 restrictions have made that mission difficult, the organization recently held a giving week that raised nearly $100,000 toward making that goal easier.

In early April, when Larry Stoner, Region 1 operations coordinator with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS), 583 Airport Road, Lititz, learned that Bird-in-Hand Fabric, owned by Sylvan and Loraine Stoltzfus, had been creating masks for anyone who requested one in response to the COVID-19 crisis, he was moved to involve MDS to help. “They had been making them for about two weeks out of the kindness of their hearts, and they were giving fabric and getting elastic and
(wire) for the nose (to others who were making them),” Stoner explained. Bird-in-Hand resident Manny Flaud, who is associated with the Lancaster MDS unit, knows the Stoltzfuses, and he contacted them on behalf of MDS. “(The Stoltzfuses) were overwhelmed with thousands of requests (for masks),” recalled Stoner, who noted that requests had come from the Lancaster County Prison, Red Rose Transit Authority, and Water Street Mission, along with retirement homes. “Everyone was desperate for face

masks made of fabric.” Stoner noted that the sewers associated with the fabric shop had produced about 20,000 masks in the two weeks prior to MDS becoming involved in production. On April 3, a conference call with the MDS unit board was held. Initially, MDS representatives made a decision to help the fabric store cut the material for masks. “We got a pattern from WellSpan (Ephrata Community) Hospital (for an approved fabric mask),” said Stoner, who noted that specifications included the type of material to be used and the length of elastic. “ We switched to their pattern as soon as we understood that it was acceptable to the hospital for the health care workers,” said Stoner. “Word was put out on April 3 that we needed volunteers willing to cut the patterns and get (cut material) to sewers,” recalled Stoner, who noted that shortly after that the Groffdale Conference Mennonite Community began cutting and sewing face masks to assist the other sewers. Because the Groffdale community does not drive cars, MDS provided drivers to move material. “On April 7, we started cutting material and getting it to sewers,” Stoner stated, sharing that the 100 volunteers created 20,000 masks the first week. “ We are calling every fabric shop in the county,” said Stoner
on April 13, who had traveled to Schaefferstown for material as well as to pick up 70 rolls of quarter-inch elastic. “We are getting connected with the right people to know where to buy things we need,” he noted. By mid-April, MDS was being asked to help make clinical masks for WellSpan. “The goal is to have groups manufacture 100,000 per week for the next eight weeks starting (the week of April 13),” said Stoner, who noted that the masks, which will be used by doctors, will be used one time and then thrown away. “The pattern is a little different and the material is not fabric,” shared Stoner, who said that he believes the volunteers can manufacture 25,000 of the masks per week. Stoner is recruiting members of the Plain community to help with the mask effort, and he has also been spreading information about COVID-19 best practices. “We are trying to get the word out about wearing masks, social distancing, and washing of hands … to take this seriously,” he said. More information about the MDS response to COVID-19 may be found at https://mds.mennonite.net. Readers who are interested in learning more about the maskmaking effort may call 717-823-0952.

Make-AWish counts on the local community, especially truck drivers to make the rescheduled virtual convoy a success. Funds raised by the convoy have supported more than 75% of wishes granted to area children each year. Make-A-Wish hopes that area residents will continue to support the organization during this critical time because the longer the COVID-19 safety precautions are in place, the larger the number of local children waiting for wishes will continue to grow. Community support is vital as the organization looks to safely grant wishes involving travel or large gatherings. Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware and Susquehanna Valley first began granting wishes in 1986. The Make-AWish organization grants a wish to a critically ill child approximately every 34 minutes.

FIA Offers Opportunity To Support Relief Efforts Food Bank To Provide While many local residents from livestock has led to waterFresh Food may be feeling the effects of borne illnesses. “We’ve been eating what we staying home due to COVID-19 can find on the ground, but that will soon be gone. I don’t know how we will survive,” a NiVan man speaking his native Bislama tongue told FIA missionary partners in the area. An estimated 80% to 90% of the villagers’ bamboo huts with grass-thatched roofs were destroyed. There is little to no palm leaf left, and it will take two to three years to regrow. With no income to buy building supplies, the people are in dire need of shelter. “Thirty to forty of us women and children packed into a larger hut while the wind was pulling at the roof and sides and rain pounded through. The men ran outside and stood around the hut to hold the roof on. I was scared we all would die,” shared a NiVan village woman, recalling her village’s harrowing tale of survival. Partnering with missionaries, national pastors, and workers in the region, FIA is raising funds to secure cyclone relief supplies for the villages of Suranda, Mataloi, and Valui. Food bundles of tin tuna, rice, and noodles feed a family of eight for a week,

Additionally, the administration and school board are planning to host an in-person event over the summer to celebrate graduation. The details have not yet been finalized. “ We have witnessed rapid changes during this pandemic and hope you understand that it is not possible for the district to commit to a specific date or plan for this summer event yet,” Bromirski wrote. “By waiting to select a date, we can consider new opportunities to make the event the best it can be as social distancing and group gathering regulations continue to change. The last thing we want to do is cancel or postpone another event you had hoped for.” Senior Awards Night will be held virtually on Monday, June 1, at 7 p.m. The ceremony will be

Every contribution will
save lives,” said FIA executive director Tim Johnston, noting that this opportunity is also a way to reach the NiVan people with a tangible demonstration of God’s love. Readers’ donations will be matched up to $10,000 until Sunday, May 31, when given to FIA’s “ W here Needed Most Fund” at www.fiaintl.org/ donate.

PPL Electric Utilities extended the deadline for applications for its Future Environmental Leaders Scholarship Program because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on schools. The new deadline is Saturday, May 30. The contest is open to high school seniors planning to attend either two-year or four-year colleges to pursue an environmentally related career. Seven winners will be selected, one from each geographic region served by PPL. Each winner will receive $2,000 toward college expenses. School closings have had a big effect on students, including high school seniors finalizing college plans. Moving the application deadline back a month will give prospective applicants more time amid all the uncertainty generated by this public health crisis.
PPL’s environmental scholarship is geared toward students who possess passion for being a positive force for the environment. A key aspect of the scholarship application is a short essay that asks students to explain why they are interested in pursuing a career with environmental ties. Scholarships will be awarded in early July, rather than early June. PPL employees and members of their immediate families or households are not eligible for the scholarship. To learn more about the scholarship and view the application and rules, readers may visit www.pplelectric.com /scholarship. For information about all of PPL’s environmental efforts, readers may visit www.pplelectric.com /environment.
From elegant dining experiences to traditional Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, Dining in Lancaster County is the essential guide to Lancaster County’s best eateries.
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges for both farms and food banks. Farms have seen disruption in the food supply chain and food banks have seen an increase in demand for assistance. A new United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) program is designed to address both concerns simultaneously. The Farmers to Families Food Box Program will procure fresh produce, dairy products, and meats like chicken and pork from domestic farms and box them to distribute to families in need through regional food banks and other food assistance organizations. The USDA program will procure an estimated $100 million per month in fresh fruits and vegetables, $100 million per month in a variety of dairy products, and $100 million per month in meat products nationwide. Many farms have reported having to dump milk or eggs because the processing plants or packaging facilities cannot take them. The restaurants, hotels, and schools that used to buy the
bulk products are closed. The funding for the food box program will compensate the farms and the food processors to package the products to distribute to families in need. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank is poised to deliver the food boxes to its network of nearly 1,000 partner agencies throughout 27 central Pennsylvania counties. The existing infrastructure built through participation in the Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus Program, the Fill a Glass With Hope fresh milk program, and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Produce Cooperative means that the food bank is equipped to handle more fresh produce, dairy products, and meat. Farms or other food industry businesses that are interested in working with the food bank and the Farmers to Families Food Box program may contact Beth Hamilton at bhamilton@centralpafood bank.org. For more information on the food bank, readers may visit centralpafoodbank.org or call 717-564-1700.

restrictions, Friends in Action (FIA), a nonprofit headquartered in Middletown, is offering an opportunity to have a global impact. Since 1992, FIA has used infrastructure projects as a platform to share the Gospel with unreached people groups in extremely remote areas. On April 6, Cyclone Harold, a Category 5 cyclone and the second-largest storm in Vanuatu’s history, almost leveled the South Pacific island country. To the people in Vanuatu’s hundreds of NiVan villages, some of whom still wear leaves or traditional loincloths for clothing and survive on subsistence farming, the storm was catastrophic. Dense jungle was shredded into barren sticks, entire villages were wiped out, roads were destroyed by flooding, and mudslides and debris caused a delay in the efforts to account for hundreds of villagers. Any food gardens and crops were decimated. To cope, people foraged what was left of gardens and root crops for food. Rivers and creeks have been used as water sources, but contamination

Students Continue Education During Closure Resurrection Catholic School in Lancaster is one of many schools in the county utilizing flexible instruction days during school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Flexible instruction days allow students to continue with classroom instruction at home. All their assignments are on a platform online where they can access them throughout the day. Teachers are available to help students with assignments and are teaching lessons via video conference calls. Students in kindergarten through third grade took home packets to work on daily assignments that will later be graded for accuracy and completion. Students in fourth through eighth grades received their daily assignments online and the assignments are graded once submitted. As a way to bring routine to the school’s students, principal
Jeffrey Hughes and second-grade teacher Sister Kristen Forgotch have presented daily announcements and morning prayers to students virtually. Each morning, Hughes and Forgotch record themselves via Zoom reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, making daily announcements that include singing “Happy Birthday” to students, and a morning prayer. Students, parents, guardians, and community members follow along on Resurrection’s Facebook page and YouTube account. Daily announcements and morning prayers are posted at 8:30 a.m. on weekdays during the school closure. For more information, readers may contact Hughes at 717392-3083. Resurrection is accepting applications for the 2020-21 school year. To learn more, readers may visit www.rcspa.org.

The Lancaster Group of the Sierra Club has awarded “green project” grants to eight Lancaster County organizations, each of which has shown a need for support of a venture that promotes sustainability, expands environmental awareness, and improves green infrastructure. With this latest round of awards, ranging up to $500 and announced on Earth Day, April 22, a total of 52 Lancaster County organizations have received green project grants over the past five years. Organizations receiving the grants, along with their projects, include Children’s Museum of Lancaster doing business as Hands-on House, purchasing plants for its Discovery Meadow and acquiring a potting shed with accessories; East Petersburg Sportsman’s Association, buying and delivering trees and creek-side plants and shrubs to replace dead, weak, or intrusive flora in its 11acre preserve; and ELANCO Source Water Collaborative, developing a native plant pollinator garden along a community park’s wooded nature trail. Recipients also include Historic Poole Forge Inc., expanding and improving its recently developed quarter-acre pollinator garden; Homefields Incorporated, purchasing native vegetation and a weed wrench for use in its current rain garden and the proposed extension of it; Hope United Methodist Church, Ephrata, installing an informational sign along the Ephrata-to-Warwick rail trail to direct and encourage trail users to visit its nearby native plant meadow and monarch butterfly pollinator garden; K-Prep Learning Center, developing an outdoor classroom and organic learning garden for use by students and their families; and Pathways - A Community Homeschool, establishing a pollinator field that includes native plants and wildflowers in Lancaster County’s 90-acre Brubaker Park.
