Women build connections for good

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

Great things happen when women on a mission get together. Lancaster County Women for Good formed last year with the goal of raising money for local nonprofits. So far, the group has donated more than $23,000, with 284 women contributing to the effort.

Most recently, the organization presented a check for $7,000 to Arch Street Center at Lancaster County Women for Good’s quarterly Gather & Grant meeting. Located in Lancaster, Arch Street Center provides support and services for adults living with mental illness.

The 26th annual Millersville parade will return to the streets on Saturday, Oct. 14.

At 8:30 a.m., the procession will begin its 2-mile route in front of Penn Manor High School, 100 E. Cottage Ave., and the parade will conclude at 10:30 a.m. on James Street near the Student Memorial Center.

The theme of this year’s parade is “Travel the World,” which was chosen to highlight both Lancaster County’s

visitors and locals who are exploring around the globe. Participants in the parade are encouraged to incorporate the theme in their costumes and float decorations by representing different methods of travel and other parts of the world.

Every year, the parade includes a float of inflatables that embody its theme; this year, the inflatables will represent a native animal from each

of the seven continents. “Coming out of (the COVID-19 pandemic), domestic and international travel has been on the rise. We thought it was a great time to feature a global theme,” said Victor DeSantis, parade coordinator and vice president for university relations and strategic initiatives at Millersville University.

The parade will feature a variety of

handmade floats, vintage cars, local organizations and both student and adult marching bands from across the county. Several marching bands will travel to Millersville from as far as Delaware to participate in the annual celebration.

The parade was created 26 years ago by a group of volunteers who sought to strengthen the relationship between Millersville University and the local community. Over the years, the event has grown into one of the largest parades in Lancaster County, drawing more than 15,000 spectators

See Parade pg 5

Lancaster County Women for Good began as an outreach of Grapevine, a social giving platform that brings people together for philanthropic work. “Grapevine initiated a bunch of groups in different areas of the country and from that point handed it over to local leadership,” said founding member Anna Horst. She’s joined by the local leadership team of group host Joelle Terranova and event coordinators Susan Klapkin and Kirstin Knopp.

Each local group sets its own fundraising parameters. For the Lancaster group, women are asked to commit to giving a minimum of $50 per quarter. In the weeks leading up to the group’s Gather & Grant meetings - which are held in February, May, August and November - members may nominate a nonprofit they’d like to support.

“The nonprofit can have a national or global reach, but it must serve our local community,” See Connections pg 2

“It’s a major bridge builder for us, and it helps to create a community atmosphere in Millersville.”

Horst explained. “It also must be a 501(c)(3) in good standing.”

From the list of nominees, members vote for their favorites, and representatives from the top three choices are invited to come to a Gather & Grant meeting to give a presentation about their organization and answer any questions. The group then votes on the recipient of that quarter’s donation.

As of now, the organization raises all of its funds through member donations, but Horst said organizers are looking into sponsorships and fundraisers in the future.

Along with Gather & Grant meetings, which are usually held at Southern Market in downtown Lancaster, the group members also meet once a month for Girl’s Night Out.

“We’ll get together to support a local business, and it’s an extra bonus if the business is woman-owned,” Horst said. “It’s an opportunity to have fun, socialize, ask questions about our organization and meet other women.”

While most Gather & Grants and Girl’s Night Out

events are held on the second Wednesday of the month, October’s Girl’s Night Out will be held on the third Wednesday of the month due to the Manheim Farm Show. It will happen at Horst Arts, 17 N. Main St., Manheim, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

For Horst, Lancaster County Women for Good has offered an easy way to give back to local organizations while also making friends.

“I love the idea of making philanthropy accessible to everyone,” Horst said. “I also like that it gives everyone an opportunity to meet likeminded women who have similar outlooks on philanthropy.”

She said women who are involved with local nonprofits are especially encouraged to join. “It’s a great way to network and to meet potential volunteers or donors and get to know people who can support your organization,” she stated.

Central Manor Church announces relaunch

Central Manor Church celebrated its official relaunch as an independent church on Sept 10. The church has had a continuous presence in Washington Boro and the surrounding areas dating back 128 years. The church is led by senior pastor Scott Davis, along with a team of elders and assistant pastors.

The mission statement of Central Manor Church is “Love and Obey God, Love and Serve People.” The church is committed to the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Church members also believe that Jesus can forgive sins, reconcile people to God the Father and give them the gift of eternal life.

Central Manor is a multigenerational church of about 400 people, including many young families with children who are active in the church, as well as senior citizens.

Central Manor Church has many ministries, both for the congregation and the surrounding community. Programs include Sunday worship services and Bible classes for children, youths and adults; Life Groups for adults during the week, which are small groups that meet for community and prayer and to discuss the sermon from the previous Sunday; an Awana children’s program on Wednesday evenings; youth group on Sunday and Wednesday evenings; and Bible2School, which is a release program for kids from Central Manor Elementary School that come during their

lunch period to learn about God.

The church also partners with The Way Recovery Ministry, which helps people recover from addictions. Many of the men from the Washington Boro house also worship at the church on Sundays.

Additionally, the church supports ministries in other countries and recently sent 10 people to Lebanon in the Middle East to meet with one of its partner churches.

All individuals and families in the community are welcome to attend Sunday morning worship at the church. Services are held at 9 and 10:30 a.m. The church is located at 387 Penn St., Washington Boro. For more information, call 717-872-2772 or email office@central manorchurch.org.

Directed by Jill Panyard and produced by Ann Snyder, “The Curious Savage” is a comedy about an elderly widow named Mrs. Savage, whose husband has left her $10 million. She intends to give away the entire fortune to people who wish to pursue their dreams, but her stepchildren strongly object.

Volunteers are needed for a variety of roles, such as banner carriers, flag carriers, inflatable costume volunteers, parking greeters and traffic monitors.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 100 years, has announced “Cooking safety starts with YOU! Pay attention to fire prevention.” as the theme for Fire Prevention Week, which will occur from Sunday to Saturday, Oct. 8 to 14. This year’s campaign will seek to educate members of the public about simple steps they can take to help reduce the risk of fire when cooking at home.

According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home

fires, with nearly half of all home fires involving cooking equipment; cooking is also the leading cause of home fire injuries. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home cooking fires and related deaths.

NFPA has provided a variety of tips related to fire prevention when cooking.

Always keep a close eye on the food that is cooking. For foods with longer cook times, such as those that are simmering or baking, set a timer to help monitor them carefully. Also, do not leave the kitchen while food is cooking, and mini-

Turning houses into homes

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

“This isn’t a handout,” said Amanda Reilly-Sokoli, executive director of the Pennsylvania Furniture Mission. “It’s a hand up. Our goal is to fill a hole and a need in the community. We work with existing organizations, and we support the whole family.”

Pennsylvania Furniture Mission opened in June in a warehouse off of Chestnut Street in Columbia.

“We provide a full household of furniture to people who need it,” said Pashk Sokoli, chief operating officer and Amanda’s husband. “People get to choose what they want. We have couches, tables, chairs, dressers, mattresses, beds, lamps, small appliances. We give them the dignity of choice. Our goal is

to convert a house into a home.”

Although the 501(c)(3) organization is new to the region, its operating concept is well-established. Prior to relocating to central Pennsylvania, Pashk served as director of operations for the Chicago Furniture Bank, the largest furniture bank in the nation.

An Albanian immigrant, he grew up in a family that at times experienced homelessness. He met Berks Countynative Amanda when she was doing mission work in Albania, and they ultimately decided to launch their own furniture mission in Amanda’s home state.

“We wanted to work in a place where the help was most needed,” Pashk said, of the decision to start the organization in Columbia. From its

warehouse, the Pennsylvania Furniture Mission can serve clients in five counties - Lancaster, York, Dauphin, Lebanon and Berks.

The organization relies on donations for its inventory, accepting gently used furniture from individuals as well as from companies and organizations who are closing or transitioning to new items.

“We have standards for the furniture we accept,” Pashk said. “We won’t take anything with stains, rips or tears. If we don’t think we can use it in our home, we don’t take it.”

All items are thoroughly cleaned with high-grade sanitizer, and many pieces are refurbished or refinished at the warehouse before they go out to a client’s home.

Pennsylvania Furniture Mission clients are referred to

the organization by various community nonprofit organizations. Clients are able to come in person to shop for furniture in the warehouse, or they can set up a virtual appointment.

The organization delivers the furniture to the client’s home, and Amanda and Pashk recently took out a loan to purchase a 16-foot box truck for deliveries, which is saving them time and money now that they don’t have to rent delivery trucks. They are looking for sponsors to help offset the cost of the new truck, and sponsors will be able to place a sticker with their logo on the truck.

So far, both Amanda and Pashk are volunteering in their positions with the Pennsylvania Furniture Mission. Their goal is to be able to not

only provide employment for people to drive the delivery truck and help with deliveries, but also earn a salary themselves.

For now, however, they are content with the strides they’ve made in a short amount of time.

“We believe in empowering people,” Amanda said, noting

that their clientele includes anyone experiencing financial hardship, including people coming out of homelessness or incarceration. “Our goal is to get them established for future success.”
