Central PA Chamber of Commerce Donates Food
|
MILTON — For a second year, the Central PA Business & Education Association (“B&E”) made a donation to the Milton Food Bank. B&E held it’s annual Give & Get Bingo earlier this month, and it encouraged its players to bring along non-perishable food items to donate to charity. This year, 68 items were collected and given to the food bank at the HandUP Foundation, in Milton.
“We’re very thankful to our bingo players with a giving heart,” said Jeff Shaffer, communication & education manager of the Central PA Chamber of Commerce and B&E. Also again this year, the Central PA Chamber staff found the Class of 2016 at Meadowbrook Christian School, near Milton, rolling up their sleeves. Since the seventh grade, this group of students has collected food and helped prepare bags of food in time for Thanksgiving. This year, 178 bags were assembled. According to Keith English, the food bank coordinator, it’s a significant increase over last year. English is grateful for all of the donations that come in to the Milton Food Bank, which is used on a regular basis by hundreds of local families. He asks that donors keep the food bank in mind once the holidays are over as well. As we all know, people need to eat all year round. |

The human spirit is strong and resilient. Sometimes we just need to break a cycle, get through a crisis, or change direction. Knowing that someone is on your side can make a difference.
