Lancaster Snapshot is an online initiative designed to encourage Lancaster County residents to share photos of people, places, and things they hold dear. “We are deeply interested in connecting people across any number of demographics,” said Aaron Spangler, communications manager with the Lancaster County Community Foundation (LCCF). “This idea was hatched in the midst of COVID-19 when we were literally and ideologically separated from each other,” he added, noting the project is focused on people introducing themselves by providing a snapshot as a way to a shared connection. “We wanted to tap into the humanness of each other,” said Tracy Cutler, executive vice president of LCCF.
