Fair Seeks To Redefine Nature of Giving BY JEFF FALK
P
resents of presence. Judicious spending. Offerings of experiences and services. Well-thought-out, alternative gifts. Hope is a wonderful gift to both give and receive. “Your money is your vote for the kind of world you want to live in,” said Jenn Knepper, the coordinator of the gift fair and the founder of Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster. “At the gift fair, we focus on quality over quantity. There’s a hashtag that says, ‘Put your money where your heart is.’ It’s a good way to think about your spending habits, like giving gifts that have been repurposed. It’s thinking creatively and outside of the box.” Gifts That Give Hope’s upcoming gift fair is not your typical gift fair. This year’s edition of the in-person portion of the annual hybrid shopping event will be conducted from

Aaron’s Acres Families Benefit From Altruistic Attorneys

Aaron’s Acres is committed to providing support for families affected by disabilities. While Aaron’s Acres has a variety of resources at its disposal, the local nonprofit also has the wherewithal to access resources it doesn’t possess - resources that are available through organizations like the Lancaster Law Foundation. “Aaron’s Acres recently received a grant that supports families in need of legal services as they plan for their children who have disabilities,” said Risa Paskoff, Aaron’s Acres’ executive director. “It was a great way to help families begin the challenging conversation of how to Attorney John May discusses planning needs with
Babysitter Training Course Posted BY JEFF FALK
It’s a necessary service provided to the community. It teaches important life lessons like responsibility, empathy and patience. It’s a formative experience upon which career goals can be founded. Babysitting is a great way for young people to help others while helping themselves. Part of Bernadette Cisney’s responsibilities as the youth program coordinator at the Lititz recCenter is to instruct a training course in babysitting. “My own k ids love their babysitter,” said Cisney. “They get excited when the babysitter comes over. It’s someone different. Some babysitters come in like, ‘What do you want to do next?’ For parents, the babysitter gives them a night out and gives them a break. My babysitter is someone my kids love and who I trust.” The babysitter training course that Cisney teaches at the Lititz recCenter, which is located at 301 Maple St. in the borough, is affiliated with and certified by the American Red Cross (ARC). Cisney uses materials provided by the ARC to instruct the course’s students, and the names of those who successfully complete the class are kept on file with the ARC. The Lititz recCenter offers the ARC babysitter training course about six or seven times a year, based on need. The next course is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 26, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There are fees associated with the training.

Bridge of Hope Lancaster Receives Award
Babysitting from pg 1 “I think a successful babysitter is someone who can come in ready to play,” said Cisney. “They are not being paid to be on their phones. They are kids who are being paid to do a job, maybe help with homework or make basic meals. I also want babysitters to know that when a decision needs to be made, they’re in charge.” The one-day, six-anda-half-hour, in-person ARC babysitter training cours e is tau g ht in a classroom setting in one of the Lititz recCenter ’s multipur pose rooms. Through an ARC manual and PowerPoint presentation, as well as hands-on instr uction, the attendees learn basic child care skills, first aid, rescue breathing, leadership development and choking training. “ The goal is to teach kids how to care for the little ones they will be taking care of and for t h e m t o r e m a i n s a fe themselves,” said Cisney. “We’re there and learning. W hile it’s a classro o m s e t t i n g , I wa n t them to have fun. I want them to ask questions. If you have experiences and they ’re on topic, I want them to share it. I want it to be a relaxed environment.” The Lititz recCenter’s ARC babysitter training course is designed for youths ages 11 to 15, and each course is limited to 10 students. Ty p i c a l l y, t h e yo u t h s who take the course reside in the Warwick, Manheim Township and Manheim Central school districts. “They’re kids who are ready to work with little k i d s ,” s a i d C i s n e y, a resident of Lititz. “They want to create relationships with little kids and their families. They ’re motivated to have a job. Maybe they want to

work with children in the future. They may want to save up for something. They want to work, and the y want to get paid.” Students in the babysitter training course also learn how to market themselves as caregivers, how to use business cards and how to build a résumé. They are also provided information about the importance of networking. “You’re going to meet different families who have different r ules ,” s aid C isne y. “ S o, yo u have to respect those r ules and be f lexible. But in the end, I think babysitters should make it their own experience. The families you babysit for have friends, and you can develop a client list. You can also get paid for something you enjoy. People you babysit for can become references. It’s an oppor tunity to build work experience.” “I want people to know the opportunity exists,” she continued. “It’s an opportunity for kids to learn, and I want parents to know that they will do so safely. They’re sending their kids to another family’s house, and they want them to be safe. It’s important for them to keep themselves safe because they ’re still kids.”

giving a good gift is knowing what’s important to people. I don’t think we need more stuff. It’s about thinking about the recipient. I try to give gifts from what I know about the person.” There’s also a social aspect associated with the gift fair. It can allow attendees to share experiences and get involved, and it can provide nonprofits with opportunities to collaborate and share resources. “ What the nonprofits have told me is that it’s not about the donations; it’s about the connections,” said Knepper. “A lot of nonprofits meet people who are doing similar work and start sharing resources. That’s a benefit that you’re not able to quantify.” Gifts That Give Hope was established in 2008 when Knepper found out about a similar initiative spearheaded by a group of women in Harrisburg. She could find no reasons that the concept wouldn’t fly in generous Lancaster County. Since its inception, the gift fair has generated a total of over $500,000 for nonprofits. “I’d love for people who have never been to the fair to feel intrigued,” said Knepper. “I always challenge the status quo, like, ‘let’s do it differently.’ I want the gift fair to feel appealing to a wide variety of people. I want to pique their interest.”

are trying to do their best to make the world a better place.” “Every nonprofit has a story,” continued Knepper. “I think everybody right now is looking for ways to connect with these types of efforts. A small group can change the world. We all can chip away in our spheres of influence to make impacts in areas.” As many as 1,500 individuals from L ancaster County and beyond are expected to attend the gift fair. Gifts That Give Hope officials are hoping to raise $35,000 for the participating nonprofits. The gift fair also offers online shopping opportunities, which can be viewed at https://giftsthatgivehope lancaster.org. “ We keep tabs on all the contributions to the various nonprofits,” said Knepper. “When all is said and done, our accountants tabulate everything and write a check to each of those nonprofits. It’s whatever the customers purchase from each nonprofit. It’s up to the nonprofits to promote their items. It’s usually things people can identify with that tend to do well.” “ You want the people who come to the fair to feel like it’s worth their time,” she added. “Receiving gifts is one of the five love languages, and some people love giving gifts.

T he event is free to attend, and the proceeds from the sale of the meaningful gifts will go to the nonprofits represented at the fair. “ T h e r e ’s a p a l p a b l e energy at the gift fair,” said Knepper. “It’s a positive, uplifting kind of vibe. I hate big crowds, but everyone is there for the common good. Everyone is coming there seeking opportunities to give contributions or to get involved. It’s an opportunity to get plugged into the community.” Gifts That Give Hope’s gift fair will feature items, merchandise and services offered by 35 nonprofit vendors and 20 marketplace vendors. The nonprofits typically offer ser vices that can also serve as charitable contributions, like music lessons, medical care, mentoring and training. At the marketplace, the vendors usually sell more tangible merchandise like soaps, jewelr y and repurposed clothing. Adding to the festive mood will be live music and food trucks. “Everything there goes back to a socially conscious effort,” said Knepper. “I think we all feel a sense that the world feels so heavy.

Like any institution, Lancaster County Christian School (LCCS) is only as good as its people. The faith-based private school is what it is today because of its students, its teachers, its administrators and its donors. For that, LCCS has a lot to be grateful for. “We have to teach ourselves and our children that not everything comes without a thank you,” said Sandy Outlar, who’s been LCCS’ community relations coordinator for 15 years. “We can never forget that we have a lot to be grateful for. No one should miss the small voice inside that says, ‘ Thank you so much.’ That’s coming from deep in my heart.” One of the things that LCCS has to be thankful for is the financial support it receives through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, which allows local businesses and individuals to direct up to 90% of their state tax obligation to schools. Those local businesses and individuals will be the focus of LCCS’ Apprecia-

tion Breakfast, which will be served from 7:30 to 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, in the school’s student life center, located at 2390 New Holland Pike, Lancaster. The event is free to attend, but visitors are requested to register by calling the school office at 717-556-0711. “I think there’ll be this feeling of effervescence,” said Outlar. “I really believe people’s hearts will be inspired and humbled hearing from students, colleagues and business partners. I think it’s inspiring just knowing you’re part of something good, helping to train young lives to the betterment of God’s glory. It’s that feeling when colleagues appreciate colleagues.” Nutr i t ionally, LCCS ’ Appreciation Breakfast will consist of eggs, bacon, potatoes, a variety of pastries, orange juice, apple juice and coffee. But on a more spiritual level, the event will explore the ways in which the donors and EITC program impact the development of the school’s students. That financial support doesn’t necessarily keep LCCS’ doors open, but it does allow for more opportunities to experience the type of education that the school provides. A little more than half of LCCS’ 317 families receive tuition aid, partly made possible through the EITC program. “It plays a very significant role,” said Outlar. “There are many students who can’t afford a private education, and this legislation made it possible. It’s one of the bipartisan issues that legislators don’t argue about.” “I don’t think it’s a question of schools like LCCS

existing or even thriving,” Outlar continued. “We’d be trying to raise money to help families afford it in other ways.” About 75 people are expected to attend the breakfast, including 40 individuals or representatives of businesses that have supported or continue to support LCCS. The gathering will feature a keynote address titled “Building a Business W hile Being a Blessing in the Community” delivered by Ed Herr, the executive chairman of the board of Herr’s Foods and Snacks. The breakfast will also include testimonials from representatives of Dutchway Farm Markets, Liberty Employment Solutions of Manheim and E.K. Bare & Sons of Bird-in-Hand. LCCS head of school Nate Long will address the audience about the future of the school, and LCCS fourth-graders will offer songs of praise. “I felt it was more important to have a face-to-face
thank you instead of a card,” said Outlar of the breakfast’s origin six years ago. “Each of (the donors) has a part in this educational institution. Now, we have more donors who are partners, and with the breakfast, we’re involving more students, students who are benefiting from the program.” There are 535 students f ro m p re k i n d e r g a r te n through 12th grade currently enrolled at LCCS. The school employs 116 individuals, 64 of whom are faculty members. LCCS was established through a merger of Lancaster Christian School and Living Word Academy in 2010. “We’ve come a long way in the last five years,” said Outlar. “I don’t believe we’re in competition in any way with other schools, except for in sports. We all deliver education differently. I think there’s a very healthy and valuable interaction with other schools.” For additional information, go to https://lccs.cc.

The three-hour event consisted of the Aaron’s Acres families meeting face-toface and one-on-one with local attor neys for 30 minutes to discuss the legal challenges that can arise when family members are disabled. The attorneys’ work was performed on a pro bono basis. “ The main goal was to give families peace of mind,” said Haines. “Oftentimes, it can be a daunting conversation to start. We were so happy to pair with A aron’s Acres to get it started.” A total of 10 families

receiving financial support were Lancaster city’s Bench Mark Program, the Court Appointed Special Advocates (C A SA) program, C hurch World Ser vice, MidPenn Legal Services, Tenfold and Pennsylvania Immig rat ion R es ource Center (PIRC). The grants awarded to those seven organizations were valued at $53,445. “The main goal of the grants is the same as the Lancaster Law Foundation’s, which is to promote equality and expand justice across Lancaster County,” said Haines. “You can see that the clinic fits into a lot of those categories. The foundation’s executive board has a grant committee that collects grant requests, reviews them and makes decisions.” The Lancaster Law Foundation was formed in 2002. Since 2020, the foundation has awarded $353,000 in grants. “ We’re well known in the legal community,” said Haines. “But outside of that, I don’t think people know about the work we’re doing. We’d like to do more, and anything we could do to expand in any way would be wonderful.” Located at 28 E. Orange St., Lancaster, the Lancaster Bar Association boasts nearly 800 members - lawyers, judges, legal professionals and law students. “A lot of our lawyers are involved in the community,” said Haines. “Oftentimes, they ’re looking to give back. They have so much expertise. Anytime they get a chance to go out into the community, they love that.”

dealing with disabilities attended the Planning With a Purpose Clinic, and half of those families decided to have further legal discussions with lawyers. Portions of the costs of those future consultations will be funded through the grant that Aaron’s Acres obtained from the Lancaster Law Foundation. Among the legal issues discussed were guardianship, special needs trusts and financial and educational planning. “Overall, it was a great meeting and a great environment,” said Haines. “Aaron’s Acres reached out to the foundation and told us they had families in need. The bar association asked attorneys to do the work pro bono, and they were happy to be there giving back.” A f t e r A a ro n ’s A c re s applied for the $3,000 grant , its request was reviewed and approved by a Lancaster Law Foundation committee. Aaron’s Acres is headquartered at 1861 Charter Lane, Suite 114, Lancaster. “We gave the grant to Aaron’s Acres for them to use at their discretion,” said Haines, “and that money covered some of the legal fees. (The legal clinic) spurred more conversations involving families’ futures. But for some, they weren’t quite ready to think about the future.” The grant to A aron’s Acres was one of seven that have been awarded to similar organizations b y t h e L a nc a s te r L aw Foundation this year.
