T
he Lancaster County Food Hub (LCFH) is the possessor of one fine title. But perhaps the organization should be called the Lancaster County Food, Clothing and Shelter Hub. Despite its formal name, LCFH concerns itself with three of the five basic human needs. And because those needs in Lancaster County are great, that makes the local nonprofit’s work even more important. “We just haven’t changed our name yet,” said Paige McFarling, who’s been LCFH’s executive director for four years. “We’re getting there. I think it’s essential that we come up with a name that shows who we are and lets people know what we do.” From a 27,000- square- foot renovated warehouse located at 812 N. Queen St., Lancaster, LCFH provides food, clothing and shelter services for county families and
individuals in need.

Mitch and the Moodswings To Light Up Akron BY JEFF FALK
Coming out this fall
Recreation is a key element of a healthy lifestyle. And music is one of the most energizing forms of recreation. Akron Borough Council’s upcoming summer concert is simply a way for it to enhance the lives of the 4,000 residents it serves. “Borough council wants to provide an opportunity for friends and neighbors to come together and build us all up as a community,” said Bonnie Young, who’s been a
member of Akron Borough Council for four years. “Borough council is working hard to benefit the community in the best ways possible. Everything we do is thinking about the community and making it an uplifting place to live.” Akron Borough Council is sponsoring an appearance by the local band Mitch and the Moodswings at 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 6, at Lloyd H. Roland Memorial Park’s Pavilion 2, 221 N. 11th St., Akron. The twohour concert, which will include an intermission, is free to attend. See Mitch and the Moodswings pg 5
