lacing people ahead of money is the model upon which Life Changes Realty Group’s business is based. “ We ’ r e r e a l l y c o m m u n i t y focused,” said Jonathan Cross, a

Manheim Township resident who’s been employed by Life Changes Realty Group for two years. “It’s why I’m part of this group. It’s the reason I probably won’t sell houses for anybody else. Money comes and goes, and I’ve only got so much time in this life. The question is,

‘What am I doing with my time?’”

Life C hanges Realty Group employs 22 realtors and expediates the sales of properties across Lancaster County. Adopting the company’s pay-it-forward program is one of the stipulations for employment.

Mark Freeman is an idea guy; he’s had many great ideas throughout his life. Among his most brilliant is the Chocolate Walk.

The Chocolate Walk brings people to downtown Lititz, engages local businesses and helps kids. It also involves fun and Wilbur Chocolate.

“I was sitting at a table across from a group of people and I said, ‘I always wanted to have a chocolate festival,’” said Freeman, the founder and chair of the Chocolate Walk committee. “We were talking about some things that we can do that are different. Someone said, ‘That idea has legs.’ Someone made the comment that these events where people go in and out of businesses are nice.

“We have a lot of fun, and we raise a lot of money,” Freeman continued. “It really benefits all around; that’s why it’s successful.

Everyone sees the benefit of it.”

In this year of anniversaries, Freeman’s Chocolate Walk idea is turning 25. This year’s edition of the family-oriented fundraiser will be staged from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10.

But tickets are already on sale for the event. They can be purchased locally at Wilbur C ho col ate , A aron’s B o ok s , Purple Robin Reserve and the Lititz and Manheim Township public libraries and online at www.lititzchocolatewalk.com.

The Lititz Chocolate Walk is being hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Lititz, Wilbur Chocolate and Luther Acres Retirement Community and being sponsored by more than 20 local businesses,

“We don’t accept just anybody. The pay-it-forward pro gram is mandator y when we come on board.

Everybody told me how much money I was going to make in real estate. But Brittany (Garner, owner) told me about how much money I was going to give away. We all do it together.

“I’ve got bills too,” added Cross. “I’m not a flashy person. I’m not necessarily doing this to make big bucks. At the end of the day, it’s really satisfying giving someone keys to their first house. I help people get into their homes, and that’s very satisfying.”

recognize the $1 million that Life Changes Realty Group has donated to charities impacting Lancaster County.

T he free event will include food trucks, an artisans’ market, a cornhole tournament, other games, a dunk tank, face painting and bounce houses, and the kids’ area at Penn Medicine Park will be open for play.

“Buying a house is the biggest financial decision that most people make,” said Cross. “When I meet people and give them my spiel, I talk about the payit- for ward program. It demonstrates the service over the sale. As a sales tactic, it works out great.

Clients will say, ‘Oh, I really like that.’”

Through the pay-it-forward program, it’s taken Life Changes Realty Group 13 years to reach the $1 million donation milestone. Cross’ contribution to that sum is more than $4,000 of take-home pay.

“It’s incredible how we’ve been able to do it, especially as piecemeal,” said Cross.

“There’s a snowball effect with that. It just adds up in pieces. It’s like drips in a bucket, and now the bucket is overflowing.”

At the request of their clients, Life Changes Realty Group has donated funds to more than 70 causes and nonprofits, including SWAN 4 Kids, animal shelters, St. John Neumann Catholic Church’s Off the Streets program, Gamers Outreach, the Alzheimer’s Association, Building Bridges Foundation, North Star Initiative, Lancaster Conservancy, Power Packs Pro ject and education foundations.

“It spans the gamut,” said Cross. “There are so many great causes that I can’t name all the ones we give to, and I hadn’t heard of most of them.”

L i fe C h a n g e s R e a l t y Group operates offices at 3002 Hempland Road, Suite 2, Lancaster; at 206 S. Market St., Suite 113, Elizabethtown; and at 141 N. Main St., Suite F, Bel Air, Md. For additional information, go to www.lifechanges realtygroup.com.

Touchstone Foundation has been awarded $255,766 through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) Violence Intervention and Prevention (VIP) grant program to support the expansion and strengthening of its Rise Above program.

Launched in 2022, Rise Above was created to help eliminate stigma surrounding youth mental wellness while empowering young people with tools for resilience, self-awareness, and advocacy. The program brings mental wellness programming and youth mentorship to Lancaster County schools for students in grades seven through 12 as well as to young adults ages 18 to 26 in community groups.

The program seeks to create inclusive spaces that foster belonging , reduce stigma, and encourage open conversations about mental health. One of its goals is to reduce long-term risk factors associated with trauma and mental health challenges. Through creative expression and guided conversations, students may build emotional awareness, develop coping skills, and gain confidence to advocate for themselves and others.

The consistent presence of a caring, supportive adult is a protective factor for many childhood adversities. Supportive adult mentors can protect and buffer children from toxic stress, help children heal and build resiliency, and inspire young people to build strong relationships.

T hroug h the recent competitive award, Rise Above will expand its reach significantly, with a goal of serving 1,120 Lancaster County students and young adults by 2029.

With support in 2024 from the L ancaster County Community Foundation’s $35,000 Shaping Tomorrow Next Generation Grant, part of a broader $1 million investment into L ancaster County initiatives, Touchstone Foundation is

expanding Rise Above into Lancaster County schools through school-day workshops, after-school programming, summer intensives, and community-based groups for young adults. Additional support for Rise Above was also received in 2025 from the City Limits Foundation, helping strengthen the program’s long-term impact and reach.

With the new VIP grant funding , Touchs t o n e Fo u n d a t i o n i s expanding Rise Above into Lancaster County schools, serving students in grades seven through 12 during the school day and through after-school programming. The expansion also includes new opportunities for young adults through community-based groups, extending support beyond high school.

A key component of the expansion is the development of a Safe Space Facilitator training program. This initiative will equip mental health professionals, artists, and community members - as well as Rise Above graduates - with the tools to serve as mentors. Training includes Youth Mental Health First Aid, trauma-informed care, and child abuse prevention and reporting.

The program expansion has also received recognition and support from Pennsylvania leaders and community partners who continue to advocate for youth mental wellness, violence prevention, and mentorship initiatives across the commonwealth.

To learn more or schedule a meeting to bring Rise Above to a local school, contact programs manager Madeline Mitchell at mmitchell@touchstone found.org.

For more information and applications, visit https://touchstonefound .org/rise-above/.

Touchstone Foundation is a nonprofit organization that has focused on elevating the mental well-being of youths and children in Lancaster County for 25 years.

We also have a water feature to go with the garden.”

T h e r e ’s s o m e t h i n g calming and medicinal associated with humans physically connecting with an Earth that sustains them. Gardening also has a way of triggering our nurturing mechanisms.

“I just like getting my hands in the dirt,” said Heil.

“I’ve pretty much always been a gardener. I come from a farming family. I’ve always had an inclination to do some gardening.”

Many of the same feelings Heil has about gardening she shares with the other 50 dues-paying members of the garden club. That bond possesses the power to inspire strong friendships and uplifting camaraderie.

“They’re women from all kinds of backgrounds,” said Heil. “That’s what makes it very interesting.

You learn about all these pursuits people have.

“We share our pursuit of gardening interests,” she added. “We have a lot of fun; we like to learn and share good times. The purpose of the club is to foster interests that are all about gardening.”

The club periodically hosts open houses and embarks on regular field trips. Its meetings feature presentations from gardening experts and an Americanized informal tea that includes coffee

St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 10 Delp Road, Lancaster, will host the L ancaster British Brass Band in concert on Saturday, Aug. 8, at 7 p.m.

The band’s program will feature transcriptions of classical master pieces, spirited marches, inspiring hymns, popular music arrangements, featured

and appetizers in addition to tea.

Nine subcommittees support the structure and work of the club.

“Being we meet once a month, it’s always great to get together,” said Heil.

“We try to get everyone involved. It’s not just an observation program.

“Our club is open,” Heil continued. “We just have a joy, and we want to share that. We’d like to get other people interested.”

The club meets monthly at 1 p.m. on the fourth Thursday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 301 Saint Thomas Road, Lancaster. The meetings are open to the public. “ When I became a retiree, I was able to spend more time gardening and developing more perennials,” said Heil. “As we get older, we have to evaluate what we can do and we can’t do.”

The garden club was established in 1947. Over the last 80 years, the club has promoted, advocated for and ex plore d the beauty of gardening.

“In the 1930s, there was a men’s garden club in L ancaster County,” said Heil. “Since they did not allow women, women started their own garden club. In the beginning, new members had to be approved. Board members would come out to see if the new members’ gardens were worthy of the club.”

Not unlike the unknown, technology can be a little s c a r y. T h e t rad i t i o n a l application of technology has always been to make the world a better place for humans.

Recently, United Zion Retirement Community (UZRC) installed and implemented an artificial intelligence (AI) system that makes l i fe s a fe r fo r i t s re s i dents. Miranda Troyer has been UZRC’s director of personal care for six years. “ I t ’s a r a d a r - b a s e d

system that requires no microphones and no cameras ,” said Troyer.

“It works on motion detection. It’s smart, so it learns our residents. It learns where their resting places are, so it’s known when they are moving.

I’m not a tech person.

But our results have been amazing.”

I n J a n u a r y, U Z R C , which is located at 722 Furnace Hills Pike, Lititz, became one of the first AI-powered senior living communities on the East Coast when it was equipped with a Helpany AI system. The AI system

is an early detection tool designed to reduce the frequency and severity of residents’ falls.

“It can sense a decrease in activity,” said Troyer.

“It tracks mobility and how well our residents are walking. It can also monitor their sleep. It sends me alerts every morning.

It will notify us if someone is getting around at night, which is when most falls occur.”

Since the Helpany AI system was installed, UZRC has seen a decrease in residents’ falls to literally nothing. In 2025, UZRC had recorded 76 resident falls. In April of this year, there were no UZRC resident falls recorded, the first time that has happened in the retirement community’s 121-year existence.

“I do credit the system for that ,” said Troyer.

“It almost resembles a smoke alarm in a room.

It connects to our Wi-Fi, and it has 24-hour suppor t. We just all really love the simplicity. It’s very easy to understand, and it’s even easier for the caregivers. They can monitor residents through apps on their cell phones.”

Currently, 27 residents, most of whom are Lancaster County natives, call UZRC home.

“Some of the big gest factors in falls are a decrease in or interrupted sleep, a decrease in activity and weaker mobility,” Troyer said. “ Those are three of the biggest things that the system monitors. In the past, we’ve been more reactive when people fell. It depends

townlively.com

upon the severity of the fall, but there’s the possibility of hospitalization and it could create a rehab stint. Death could be the biggest outcome. We’re helping people be healthier longer. We’re helping people be in their current level of care longer.

“On a weekly basis, residents get health reports from this system,” Troyer continued. “I t ’ ll g uide them, and they can see where they ’re at. T hey c a n c h o o s e to s o r t o f turn things around. The residents have really responded well, and the system also has a portal where family members can see how their loved ones are doing through an app.”

UZRC was founded in 1905 as United Zion Home for the Homeless. “ We are always tr ying to look at the folks we ser ve and figure out how we can ser ve them better,” said Troyer. “We are a faith-based organization, and we get a lot of residents because of how faith-based we are.

We’re always looking to grow and change. As time is changing, so is the tech and the things you can do.” “ This has been one of the most innovative areas w e ’ v e v e n t u re d i n t o ,” concluded Troyer. “We’re being innovative and using these technologies to better the lives of the people we serve. I’m really focused on resident care.

It’s about overall health and well-being, and they can be very fragile.”

“Everybody has fun on Chocolate Walk day,” said Freeman. “It’s a fun, fun day and we raise a lot of money. If you ever walk about Lititz on Chocolate Walk day, you’ll see a lot of smiling faces.”

Even the greatest of Chocolate Walks began with a single step - in 2002, that was 13 downtown stores and $4,000 raised for children-oriented charities. Since its inception, the Lititz Chocolate Walk has donated $1.2 million to kids’ causes.

“There are a lot of people putting a lot of effort into it,” said Freeman. “It’s definitely a tradition in Lititz.

Lititz is a very vibrant town on a weekend night. Lititz is known as a foodie town, and I think the Chocolate Walk has played some part (in) that.”

“We have a lot of people excited for the event,” said Freeman. “People go to stop number one, sample what’s being ser ved there and then they’re off to store number two. There’s a bit of a treasure-hunt vibe to it. They have to find it and see what they’re serving.”

Some 30 downtown Lititz stores and stops make up the destinations along the Chocolate Walk. At each stop, walkers are treated to sweet or savory samples of unique Wilbur Chocolate delicacies invented and prepared by chefs, chocolatiers and candy makers - everything from ice cream, baked items and confections to pumpkin soup with chocolate ganache.

“It’s all kinds of stuff,” said Freeman. “If you tried eating a third of it, it would be way too much. Some of the treats are packaged so they can be taken with you.

Every year, Wilbur creates something special for the Chocolate Walk.”
