SERVING THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES SINCE 1954
VOL XXXVI • NO 34
we are so thankful for our readers and the local businesses and organizations that help to make our communities thrive You’re Invited To Thanksgiving Dinner BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER
The meal must go on. Not wanting the Mountville area to lose its public Thanksgiving dinner when the original hosts retired 14 years ago, Greg and Dolly Workman of The Workman Funeral Homes Inc. stepped up. Along with their children, Holly and Reilly, the Workmans solicited food donations from friends and family members, prepared the food, and happily served full meals to whomever showed up. The Workmans have continued their service, and every year the number of attendees has grown. In 2019, they served 175 people via sit-down meals, takeout, and delivery.

“ExtraGive” Is Extraordinarily Important BY DAYNA M. REIDENOUER
n a year when nonprofit organizations experienced significant losses of income opportunities, the Extraordinary Give (ExtraGive) hosted by the Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF) is of particular importance. For 24 hours, beginning at 12:00:01 a.m.

on Friday, Nov. 20, individuals may make donations via credit card to participating nonprofits at www.extragive.org. To inspire generous donations, LCCF has solicited sponsors for more than $500,000 in matching funds and other prizes. “Every year we have a stretch goal. That allows people to ‘give extra,’” explained LCCF communications
manager Aaron Spangler. With the assistance of the stretch goal, last year’s ExtraGive raised $10.9 million, for a total of $53.5 million since the event’s inception in 2012. The hope is that the 2020 ExtraGive will do as well or better. Spangler noted that when the shutdown was announced in March, the ExtraGive
organizers knew that this year’s event would be different. “We were a little unsure about how everything was going to go,” Spangler commented, “but we have more sponsors this year than ever before.” More than 500 nonprofits will participate in the upcoming ExtraGive. To qualify, potential
