Kreider Farms is known for its dairy products, but on Saturday, May 4, the focus will be on water when the Kreider family hosts a World Vision Global 6K for Water event. The 6-kilometer run/walk will begin at 525 Indian Village Road, Manheim, at 9 a.m. and will go through what marketing and social media specialist Khalee Kreider noted that her family calls “Kreider Valley.” “Last year, Kreider Farms hosted the Global 6K for the first year with high expectations to bring clean water to 2,000 people,” said Khalee, a member of the fourth generation to be involved in the family business. “We went over and beyond our goal, raising upward of $150,000 and providing clean water to over 3,000 people. We would like to meet or even exceed our achievement last year in 2019.” See Global 6K For Water pg 7
