In April of 2018, individuals from a variety of community sectors in Manheim began meeting together on a monthly basis to form the grassroots organization of Manheim Community Cares. The collaboration is intended to make Manheim a thriving and caring community where every person feels welcomed and empowered to support one another. Manheim resident and Senior Master Sgt. Nancy Hanula, who serves as the Civil Operations program manager for the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs Counterdrug Joint Task Force, has been a part of forming and growing similar groups in other parts of the state and decided that it was time to make it happen in Manheim. “USDA Rural Development did a roundtable discussion (on opioid misuse), and it really lit the spark in me. I said, ‘Manheim is ready for this,’” Hanula recalled. Hanula explained that the group uses community data to determine what current issues are and how everyone can work together to resolve them. The goal See Manheim Community Cares pg 4
