Little Free Pantries for York County Families
Addressing Food Insecurity and Other Needs
For the Class of 2025, finding a unique way to support the needs of children and families was priority #1. The group launched a food and supplies collection drive, and installed and stocked Little Free Pantries in underserved areas of York County. To fund their efforts, the group hosted a Glow Golf event, closing out their year with a donation of $11,000 to support the food pantry and continuing needs related to food insecurity at Pilgrim's Inn.
Supporting York County's First Responders
Code Three 5K - Running for First Responders
The Class of 2024 work throughout the year to create a list of contacts for first responder stations across York County, documenting their biggest needs and challenges. With the help of Carowinds, the class hosted a themed 5K Run where they invited runners to participate in support of police, fire, and EMS personnel in our community. Funds raised during the event allowed the class to purchase needed supplies ranging from cases of water to medical and safety equipment. They were also able to donate towards training programs and future needs.
