wife and I started it, and we did it by ourselves. Now we’re getting more people to help. The need doesn’t get missed. Every day in Lancaster, there are food giveaways, except Sundays. That’s why we do it on Sundays.” Musser and his wife, Sarah, founded Musser’s Street Ministry in 2023. With the help of eight to 10 volunteers, the Mussers distribute meals to more than 50 individuals right there on the sidewalks outside of First Reformed Church,
Sarah Zeitler wants to get people talking about some of life’s most basic necessities while making sure everyone has access to them. The Lancaster woman is the local face of I Support the Girls, a national nonprofit that collects bras, underwear and feminine hygiene products for girls and women in need. What began for Zeitler as a simple search for a place to donate gently used bras has grown into a mission she calls both energizing and deeply personal. “I’m very focused on changing the conversation,” says Zeitler, who has two teenage daughters, ages 14 and 16. “Why don’t we talk about pads and tampons? ...

Sarah Musser and Mike Musser are the founders of Musser’s Street Ministry.
When Mike Musser looks into the faces of the people he’s helping, he sees himself. And when he does, one of his hopes is that they will have what he has now. Musser’s Street Ministry is based in empathy and inspired by hope. “I also see people I used to live with on the streets,” said Musser. “They see our consistency, and when they’re ready, they come to us.
