Food insecurity is an official term from the USDA. It's when people don't have enough to eat and don't know where their next meal will come from — a big problem in the United States but also a surprisingly big problem in Lancaster County. Join us in the Good Shepherd Classroom when our guest presenter will help us understand local food insecurity and our members will share the ways our congregation responds to food insecurity.

You can reserve a FREE Thanksgiving Turkey Box. This box includes everything you need to make a Thanksgiving meal at home. Call (717) 537-1024 and leave a message as to whether you want Box 1 or Box 2 — include your first name and please spell your last. Box 1 serves 1-2 people, including 5lbs of potatoes, stuffing, canned sweet potatoes, vegetable and turkey for two. Box 2 serves 4-6 people, and includes 5lbs of potatoes, stuffing, canned sweet potatoes, vegetable and a whole turkey. You can pick up your meal at the church’s back entrance on MONDAY, November 24 from 12:00-5:00 pm. Limit one box per family.

Bushels of Love in November will go to Angel Tree Giving. Though there are no angels on a tree this year, giving is still what we are called to do for people in need. In that spirit during November, winter gloves, hats, and socks will be gratefully received and later handed out at the Grace Meal in December. No wrapping is necessary. Though we still encourage donations for both women, and children, the biggest need is collecting those items for men.
