Event Will Show How To Get Mental Health Help

BY GEORGE DEIBEL

The Millersville Lions Club is adding a local flavor to an international idea.

The nonprofit group will hold Roar for Mental Health Awareness on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church’s gymnasium, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster.

“Lions Club International has global initiatives, and this year at the convention they added mental health awareness,” said Pat Benson, who is the vice governor for District 14 and will become district governor in two years.

“Our past district governor, Deb Keeports, thought it would be nice if we could do some kind of event for Mental Health Week, which is the week of Oct. 5.”

Benson, Keeports, and Millersville Lions Club second vice president Deb Bagnoli went to work. “Deb and I, and the other Deb, got together, and we came up with an idea of having

“It’s really powerful,” said Amy Thurston, who’s been Hope Inspire Love’s CEO and president for the last eight years. “When we hear our community say, ‘We’re glad you’re here,’ it really means a lot. The walk was something we attended in Harrisburg in 2017, and we asked, ‘What

There are so many great causes in Lancaster County. Locally, there are so many life-affirming nonprofits performing lifealtering work.

The only thing greater is the generosity of Lancaster County residents.

Faithful Give seeks to link those donors and causes and to enhance that great work.

“Lancaster County has got to be one of the most generous counties in the nation,” said Dave Kieffer, president of Faithful Give. “I feel like it gives God glory to highlight every way that Lancaster County needs to be served. There are a lot of people here carrying out Jesus’ ministry. It’s about giving your money, but it’s also about giving your time, treasures and talents. Our goal is to connect the donors and the need.”

Overseen by an eight-member board, Faithful Give is a county-wide, online giving extravaganza that also promotes volunteering, committed prayer partnerships and general feelings of altruism. This year’s Faithful Give will be conducted over three days, from midnight on Sunday, Oct. 19, to midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

Contributors to Faithful Give can donate to a general fund or designate their donations to specific participating causes or nonprofits.

Donations to Faithful Give can be made by credit card, electronic fund transfer or e-check

Tips for Preventing Bathroom Falls

“Danger” might not be the first word to come to mind when individuals consider their bathrooms. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that each year, more than 1.5 million aging adults visit emergency rooms for fall-related injuries, many of which occur in the bathroom.

Many falls and spills that occur in the bathroom can be prevented. Seniors or their loved ones can make some minor adjustments to bathrooms so falls are less likely to happen.

People should install grab bars in their shower and bath and elsewhere, as necessary. Grab bars make it easier for aging men and women to get into and out of the shower or the tub by giving them something to hold on to. This assistance can be especially helpful for seniors who must step up and over their tubs to get into the shower. Although grab bars are primarily used in showers and tubs, they also can be installed alongside toilets

for seniors who could use a little help sitting down and getting up. AARP notes that sheltering arm grab bars provide the best support around toilets. Such grab bars come around both sides of the toilet and look similar to armrests.

Seniors may also want to install LED lighting in their bathrooms. Poor lighting in a bathroom can make it hard for seniors to see and thereby make them more vulnerable to falls. Lighting can be especially problematic for seniors who make frequent bathroom visits overnight. Even bathrooms with seemingly adequate lighting may be dangerous if they feature dated light fixtures that rely on incandescent bulbs. These bulbs burn out with greater frequency than LED alternatives, which can last for years. The longer bulbs last, the less often seniors need to change them, which also reduces their risk for injury. In addition to replacing traditional fixtures with LED alternatives, individuals can plug in LED night lights that make it easy to see

when making nighttime visits to the bathroom.

Non-slip bath mats can also be a helpful addition to a bathroom. Non-slip bath mats often utilize rubber-backed liners to ensure the mats stay put even when floors get wet or damp from condensation after a hot bath or shower. Non-slip mats can be placed where individuals will enter and exit the shower and even by the toilet and sink to help individuals feel steady on their feet.

Seniors should remember to clean their bathrooms regularly. Bathroom surfaces can grow slippery from soap scum and condensation, and prompt and routine cleaning can reduce the likelihood that seniors will fall in their bathrooms. Seniors who have difficulty keeping up with household cleaning can hire a cleaning service or ask a younger relative to help them.

Seniors can fall anywhere in a home, but they may be more likely to do so in a bathroom. Various measures can help make bathrooms safer for aging individuals.

Historical Society Plans Program

The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will host a presentation titled “From the Mennonite Children’s Home to Immerse International: A Journey Through Four Service Organizations at 321 Manor Ave., Millersville,” when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, in the Millersville Borough Administration & Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive.

The speaker will be Raymond Huber, who served Immerse International for 15 years, retiring as executive director in 2016.

Since 1909, thousands of orphans, troubled youths, and international students have found practical help during difficult transition points in their lives from one or more of the organizations that have occupied the Millersville location. Huber will reveal a common thread among those groups that contributed to changing lives. He will also discuss the historical significance of the site’s buildings and property and display several objects related to the organizations. A question-and-answer period will conclude the meeting.

Huber, a 1968 Penn Manor graduate, trained in architecture and pastoral studies. He pastored churches in several states before serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators in South America. For over 50 years, he and his wife, Peggy, traveled to more than 30 countries in service to others.

Admission is free, and donations are appreciated. For more details, contact Phil Gerber at 717-872-8837 before noon or at pge8507@aol.com.

Church To Present Concert

Church of the Apostles United Church of Christ, 1850 Marietta Ave., Lancaster, will present a special community concert featuring The Malta Band, one of the oldest concert bands in Lancaster County, on Sunday, Oct. 12, at 3 p.m.

The concert is free to attend, and a freewill offering will be received in place of tickets to support the Apostles Academy.

seen is that the community can get behind something that doesn’t cause a ruckus. People want to know why we’re quiet and they want to know why we’re happy in the midst of something so heavy.”

This year’s sixth edition of the Hope Inspire Love’s annual Freedom Walk will be conducted on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Musser Park, 135 N. Lime St., Lancaster. Concerned walkers can register at https://hopeinspire love.org/freedomwalk or at the event the day of.

“There’s a lot of excitement because people want to know what they can do to help,” said Thurston. “People cheer us on as we go. Anybody can do this. If you can’t walk, you can support us. We also have survivors walking with us. As we walk, some people become emotional. Some people pray through the walk. When people come back, they feel like they did something.”

The silent 2-mile Freedom Walk, which will start just before 11 a.m. and take about an hour to complete, will begin and end at Musser Park. In a single-file line, walkers traverse the city blocks through Lancaster Central Market and past the Lancaster County courthouse.

The event will also feature live music, a kids’ zone, a display that tells the stories of human trafficking survivors and statistics and

information from similar organizations battling human trafficking.

“Every year during the walk, I will jump out of line and thank people, because we can’t do it alone,” said Thurston. “Sometimes that thank you is filled with tears because the line keeps getting stronger and stronger. I don’t want the line to stop. I want to see it keep getting longer and longer.”

More than 500 concerned citizens from all over Lancaster County and surrounding areas are expected to participate in the Freedom Walk. Hope Inspire Love is hoping to realize $75,000 in proceeds from the walk, which will serve as ammunition in the battle against human trafficking.

“There are people who continue to come back for the Freedom Walk,” said Thurston. “We have individuals who work alongside us. It’s people who have heard about the work. We invite nonprofits from outside the county to participate. Each of us can make a difference in the fight against human trafficking.”

A faith-aligned nonprofit, Hope Inspire Love, which is located at 1380 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster, also hosts a formal gala, which next year will be held on Friday, April 10, at Eden Resort Lancaster, 222 Eden Road, to raise funds and awareness to combat the societal blemish.

In addition, Hope Inspire Love

Women’s Club To Meet

The Millersville Woman’s Club will meet on Tuesday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 222 N. George St., Millersville. Area women are invited to attend. This month’s program will be “Less Mess, Less Stress.” The guest speaker will be Sarah Hamblin, who is the coordinator with Beyond the Fork in the Road, a company that specializes in moving seniors in their transitions to new homes. The company helps people sort, pack, and unpack and helps with floor planning. Previously, Hamblin worked for the Millersville Community Church as the contemporary worship coordinator and the pastor’s administrative assistant. She serves on the board of The Cottage Ministry, which assists families facing homelessness. Hamblin also organized the College and Vendor Show and volunteers with children at Lumina’s Kids Night in Lancaster. For more information, call 407416-3231 or 717-917-6677.

Event To Focus on Scams

State Rep. Nikki Rivera, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, will host a $CAM JAM event from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Oct. 9, at Calvary Homes by Tandem Living, 502 Elizabeth Drive, Lancaster. Representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities will lead the interactive event, which

sponsors training events, therapeutic art classes and equine therapy.

“(The Freedom Walk) started with a passion and with a small group of people,” said Thurston, a resident of Manheim Township. “We saw excitement, and we invited a few nonprofits. Maybe 75 to 100 people came. As it’s grown, we’ve had amazing businesses join. We have kids holding signs that say, ‘I’m not for sale.’ We want our kids to be safe, and this is what it looks like. That’s why we want families to come out.”

Established in 2017, Hope Inspire Love now employs seven individuals - three full-time workers and four part-time workers. The organization, which also makes use of contracted employees and volunteer mentors, is funded through donations from businesses, churches, foundations and individuals, as well as grants.

“(The growth) has been beautiful,” said Thurston. “We’ve expanded how we serve. Now we’re able to serve moms and their kiddos. We have an amazing team that is steadfast in the work, and our community has been behind this 100%. The survivors let us be part of their stories.”

will educate attendees on how to safeguard their money from financial fraud and abuse. Attendees will also play Fraud Bingo, with a chance to win prizes.

Rivera chose to host the event at Calvary Homes by Tandem Living because millions of seniors are targeted each year, resulting in an estimated $3 billion in losses annually, according to the FBI. Seniors are

at https://faithfulgive.org/ donate-sponsor. Paper checks can be mailed to FaithfulGive, 1002 Lititz Pike, Suite 133, Lititz, PA 17543.

“Faithful Give exists to support and advocate for faith-based, biblically faithful organizations in Lancaster County,” said Kieffer. “We’re not designed to compete; we’re focused on Faithful Give and what we do. Healthy competition can improve the outcome for all organizations. Generosity begets generosity.”

Faithful Give is also sponsoring two in-person events as part of this year’s initiative.

The first is a kickoff prayer breakfast that will be held from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 20, at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2151 Oregon Pike, Lancaster. Leaders and representatives of some of the charitable causes will be present to meet donors and answer questions.

Faithful Give will informally conclude its efforts with a community celebration event and expo on Oct. 21 from 5 to 8 p.m. at DOVE Westgate Church, 1755 W. Main St., Ephrata. That family-friendly gathering will feature bounce houses, a strolling magician, balloon animals, face painting, nine holes of miniature golf and fellowship.

“One hundred percent of your money goes straight to where you designate it,” said Kieffer. “We encourage people to give to nonprofits throughout the year. Lancaster County people steward their money well. We’re really trying to expand our definition of generosity. The organizations I get behind most are the ones who have won my heart. It helps me to buy into their mission.”

Faithful Give, which does not maintain a physical office, is aiming to raise a total of $2 million for 130 Lancaster County causes like Christian schools, youth and college programs, adult programs, elderly care, human services and overseas organizations headquartered locally. Last year, Faithful Give raised more than $1.568 million from 2,933 donors.

“There are probably a thousand great causes in Lancaster County doing great work,” said Kieffer. “Faithful Give is designed to come

alongside nonprofits with a Christian vision or a Christian philosophy of what benefits the community. Our goal isn’t to replace anything else. It’s to help in ways we can and feel called to.”

“The youth will be educated,” continued Kieffer, “the homeless will be cared for, families will find resources they need, the arts will be advanced in a way that will help the community, houses will be built, and early education programs will be supported. Some of these ministries cross over.”

Since its inception in 2023, Faithful Give has raised more than $2.3 million for local nonprofits.

“I think Lancaster County has a rich heritage of biblically-led, faithful-led nonprofits,” said Kieffer. “Faithful Give exists to celebrate and nurture that and protect that mission for the future. Since it was started, it’s grown in number and in quality. It’s also grown in reputation. I think we’ve grown in trust with our donors, and we’ve grown in trust with our causes. We’ve delivered on what we’ve promised.”

The Millersville Lions Club Community Blood Drive will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 21, from 1 to 6 p.m. at St. Philip the Apostle Church’s Parish Activity Center, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster. The motto of the Halloween-themed blood drive is “Starve a Vampire and Donate Blood.” During the last blood drive, the club surpassed

Mental Health

a mental health awareness event,” Benson said.

Bagnoli stated, “When I knew this was coming up, I started googling mental health and what things do we need to make this happen.”

Bagnoli reached out to a couple counseling services she noticed at Millersville Community Church and made contact with various local organizations.

There will be numerous vendors at the event, as well as activities.

Representatives from LEMSA; a group that sends cards to veterans, seniors, and children in the hospital; KPETS; Building Bridges; and WellSpan Philhaven will be on hand.

The list of offerings from vendors will include rock painting, learning to meditate, music therapy, coloring books, and an origami demonstration. Benson saw a television report about a young woman who had mental health issues and found that

origami was a way for her to relieve stress.

Benson cited the importance of the event. “I think everybody in their own way is suffering from some type of mental health (issue), be it lonely, be it financial, be it whatever,” she said. “The Lions Club is trying to put something together to let people know there’s help out there for them if they have an issue. A lot of these vendors are going to come, and they’ll talk to people, and then they’ll let people know they’re here to help you. I think that’s the biggest thing that I want to get out is, if you need help, there’s people here to help.”

Bagnoli can relate. “I suffer from a lot of stress and depression, and what I find works for me is physical therapy, exercise,” she said. “I reached out to Brightside Community Center because I do go to the gym there as well. We’re going to have a chair yoga class for 45 minutes (from 12:30 to

1:15 p.m.). I’m hoping a lot of people participate in that and it shows them it will make you feel good after you’re done.”

Benson added that no one is immune. “In talking with the police chief in Millersville (Jeffrey Margevich), it was really interesting because he actually suggested some other groups of people for me to get and reach out to,” she said. “He said, ‘You know what, Pat? Police (officers) today need something like this.’ And I thought that was touching. That’s what I hope that we would get out of this. If we help one person, we have (made a difference).”

The Willow Street and Lancaster clubs are helping Millersville with the event.

Anyone interested in being a vendor and sharing their expertise on mental health can email Benson at pattycake119@comcast.net or Bagnoli at baglady2030@yahoo .com up to the day of the event.
