VisionCorps Slates Rappeling Fundraiser

VisionCorps will host Eye Drop 2026 on Friday, June 5, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Lancaster, 26 E. Chestnut St., Lancaster. The rappelling event aims to raise awareness and funding to support the organization, which is celebrating 100 years of service.

VisionCorps is a nonprofit with a goal of empowering people of all ages who are blind or vision impaired, allowing them to attain independence. Headquartered in downtown Lancaster since its founding, VisionCorps serves almost 2,000 individuals, providing services in five counties: Adams, Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York. The organization also offers prevention of blindness services, including KidSight screenings for more than 12,000 preschoolers each year. VisionCorps also provides employment opportunities.

Eye Drop 2026 will feature about 100 participants, each raising a minimum of $1,000 for the chance to rappel from the roof of the Holiday Inn Lancaster to the ground. Spectators are welcome to watch and cheer on participants. Events will take place in Ewell Plaza, 123 N. Queen St.; at the Lancaster Public Library, 151 N. Queen St.; and on the terrace level of the Holiday Inn Lancaster.

Included in this year’s 100th anniversary edition of Eye Drop will be 10 stories of impact about VisionCorps’ services and innovations throughout its 10 decades of service. Also symbolic of the anniversary are the 10 stories that rappelers will pass while descending the

120-foot building.

Other special features of the event will include livestreaming of the rappelers with masters of ceremonies George Tobler and Scott Tobler, music provided by DJ Gill Sanchez starting at 9:30 a.m., food trucks in Ewell Plaza, and giveaway drawing tickets for themed baskets.

From 1 to 3 p.m., attendees may learn about accessible technology, including smart glasses. While playing games such as cornhole and jumbo Connect 4 and Jenga, people may try simulator glasses to experience what different levels

of vision are like.

Kids’ activities will be available from 10 a.m. to noon., including book readings in the Lancaster Public Library that will teach children about their eyes and how to keep them healthy. The West Goshen Lions Club will offer free vision screenings for children, and kids may meet and take photos with Abby the Ability Bear, VisionCorps’ new mascot, and Cylo, the Stormers’ mascot.

Eye Drop is free of charge and open to the public. For more information and to register as a rappeler, visit www.EyeDrop2026.org.

BY CATHY MOLITORIS

More than a decade ago, Fritz Schroeder was paddling on the Conestoga River when he realized something. The now president and CEO of Lancaster Conservancy saw the challenges facing the waterway but also its great potential to become a thriving place for wildlife and recreation.

Lancaster Water Week grew out of that experience, and the event will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year from Friday, June 5, through Saturday, June 13.

“We have over 60 events hosted by more than 40 partners,” said Avery Van Etten, marketing and communications manager for Lancaster Conservancy. “There are so many events that no matter what you’re interested in, whether it’s paddling or hiking, taking a rain garden workshop, participating in an art event or other activities, there are so many ways for everyone to get involved.”

Highlights of Lancaster Water Week include First Friday in downtown Lancaster on June 5, when people can pick up free native plants or seeds and enjoy immersive activities hosted by organizations working in the clean water movement.

On Tuesday, June 9, a 10th anniversary event will be held at West Art, 816 Buchanan Ave., Lancaster, from 5 to 8 p.m.

“This is an opportunity to connect with members of our clean water community and enjoy water-themed games, arts and crafts and activities,” Van Etten said. “West Art’s café will be open, and we’ll have a food truck and ice cream. And then

Extension to Offer Course for Poultry Workers

Penn State Extension will offer a free, live online course designed to help Spanish-speaking poultry workers build communication skills for workplace success and advancement.

“Communication Skills for Spanish-Speaking Poultry Workers” is a fourweek, instructor-led program focused on everyday

workplace language used in poultry operations. Webinars will occur from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from June 9 to July 1.

Taught in Spanish, the course is aimed at providing a supportive environment for learning practical English and building confidence. The

training will follow the approach of Extension’s English4Ag programs: teach what matters most, keep it practical, and connect language directly to the job. Participants will learn how to use essential English vocabulary on the farm, communicate clearly with supervisors and co-workers, understand workplace instructions and expectations, strengthen safety awareness through key terms and phrases, and build confidence to take on new responsibilities.

Employers in the poultry industry continue to identify communication as one of the biggest barriers

to safety, efficiency, and employee advancement. By focusing on job-specific language and real scenarios, this program can help bridge that gap, benefiting both workers and employers.

The course will be taught by Maria Gorgo-Simcox, Ashley Bigge, and Gino Lorenzoni of Penn State Extension, along with Hope Kassube of the University of Minnesota.

Recordings will be available. For more information and to register, visit https://extension .psu.edu/communica tion-skills-for-spanish -speaking-poultry -workers.

Resource Sharing App Launched

A new resource called the Lancaster County Food Exchange is available to help food banks, pantries, and community organizations share resources, reduce waste, and get food to families in need. The organization’s purpose is to “make sure no good food goes unused and no family goes hungry.”

Terry Kile had the idea for the food exchange when The Loft Community Partnership in Millersville received an overage of 4,800 clamshells of blueberries. Kile, a local tech entrepreneur, created the Lancaster County Food Exchange mobile web application using coding and some artificial intelligence. Incorporated as Food Exchange Resources

in June 2025 and certified as a 501(c)(3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service, the Lancaster County Food Exchange was beta-tested by several food pantry directors and employees prior to its launch on Jan. 15.

The Lancaster County Food Exchange aims to help stretch limited resources further and strengthen collaboration among food assistance providers countywide. The mobile app allows registered food pantry volunteers to list surplus inventory directly from a smartphone, request needed items from partner organizations across Lancaster County, coordinate pickups and deliveries, and view realtime shared inventory for better planning and distribution. Needs may include food and personal care products. As of May 5, the Lancaster County Food Exchange served 32 local agencies and more than 80 volunteers.

Future plans include expanding partnerships with growers, manufacturers, and distributors; integrating additional features for reporting and logistics; and onboarding more community groups that serve local families.

The .918 Club aims to raise $250,000 in donations and pledges to finance construction. As of May 11, from an online community of nearly 1,200 people, the club has received donations from 55 people, totaling more than $66,000. To donate, visit https:// tinyurl.com/918Donate.

Beauty in Bloom

Fundraising Campaign Expands Housing

Bridge of Hope has announced the successful completion of its $9.3 million Making Room comprehensive campaign, a milestone that is already expanding affordable housing access and strengthening long-term stability for families facing homelessness across Lancaster County, Chester County, and beyond.

Originally launched with an $8.4 million goal, the campaign was expanded as economic pressures increased the number of local families experiencing housing instability. At the same time, new opportunities emerged to secure additional homes and respond more urgently to the need.

In Lancaster County, campaign investments resulted in six affordable housing units located in Lititz, Manheim, Paradise Township, and Lancaster Township - communities where rising rents have increasingly outpaced wages. The locations of several of the homes will help children remain connected to their schools, routines, and support systems during times of transition.

The campaign also helped launch the Bridgeport Housing collaboration with Chestnut Housing, Forest Hills Mennonite Church, and Conestoga Valley SEEDS. The partnership aims to add 12 to 15 affordable homes by 2027-28, expanding the community’s long‚Äëterm capacity to respond to

family homelessness.

Beyond individual homes, the Making Room campaign strengthened Lancaster County’s housing ecosystem by expanding creative strategies that help families facing homelessness move more quickly from crisis into housing, such as growing landlord partnerships, using master leasing and lease guarantees, strengthening cross-sector collaboration, and increasing rental assistance.

The campaign also reinforced the supports that help families remain housed. Families often enter permanent housing after months or even years of instability, carrying the weight of prolonged stress and uncertainty. Through strengthened whole‚Äëfamily support, Bridge of Hope has sought to reduce isolation, address the emotional toll of homelessness through mental health‚Äëinformed care, and surround parents and children with neighboring volunteers who walk alongside them as they stabilize, heal, and rebuild.

Together, these efforts contributed to a 65%

increase in Bridge of Hope families served in Lancaster County. While the campaign was a success, the work continues. Bridge of Hope continues to expand housing solutions, strengthen pathways to employment and financial stability, mobilize more neighboring volunteers, and prepare for a new phase of work focused on longterm community impact.

Bridge of Hope National is a Christian faith‚Äëbased nonprofit organization working to end family homelessness across the United States. Bridge of Hope partners with families facing homelessness to help them achieve safe, sustainable housing by strengthening financial stability, providing whole-family case management, and fostering supportive neighboring relationships with volunteers from local Christian churches who offer ongoing relational and practical support.

Beyond its philanthropic work, the Newcomers and Neighbors of Lancaster serves as a social bridge for both fresh arrivals and longterm residents of Lancaster County.

around 6:30 p.m. we’ll have a presentation and a film screening, and we’ll wrap up with a DJ dance party with DJ Image.”

Other highlights include a creek stomp on Wednesday, June 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Stauffer Run stream at Greenfield, starting at the S. Dale High Leadership Center, 1861 William Penn Way, Lancaster.

“This is a super fun event that’s geared especially toward families with children,” Van Etten said.

Also on June 10, from 4 to 6 p.m., people are invited to explore a new self-guided nature trail sponsored by Eurofins on one of its campus green spaces, located at 2430 New Holland Pike, Lancaster.

On Thursday, June 11, Lancaster City Stormwater staff will lead a tour of the newly installed wetland system at Long’s Park, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. That same day, from 4 to 5 p.m., tours of the Lititz Borough Wastewater Treatment Plant will be offered.

On June 13, conservation specialists RiverStewards Collaborative and LandStudies will join the Conestoga-Susquehannock Tribe and Circle Legacy Center to present “Weaving Indigenous Perspectives into Local Conservation and Restoration.” The program will take place at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse, 112 N. Water St., Lancaster, from 2 to 5 p.m. Another highlight of the week will be the Rally for the River & Conestoga Cleanup on June 13 from 9 a.m. to noon. Participants will meet at Lancaster County Central Park and then head out to volunteer with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and partners at multiple spots along the Conestoga River.

“This is an especially exciting event because the Conestoga was recently named Pennsylvania’s River of the Year,” Van Etten said, explaining that the public voted for the river through the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers. “There are just so many things to do during Water Week. It’s an engaging and energizing, fun week.”

Caring for Lancaster County’s streams and rivers is important, she said, because these waterways are places for recreation and homes for wildlife. They provide sources of drinking water as well, but according to the Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Report for 2026, more than 90% of the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in the county are considered “impaired.”

“We see this as a challenge but also as an opportunity to care for our waterways,” Van Etten said. “Improving our waterways is a daunting task, but it’s something we can achieve.”

Along with participating in Water Week activities, people are encouraged to take three action steps promoted by the Lancaster Conservancy.

They include creating habitats by planting native

plants, protecting water by learning about your local watershed, and exploring the outdoors.

“We believe that when people explore our waterways and our natural lands, they will fall in love with them and want to help take care of them,” Van Etten said.

Lancaster Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust charged with protecting more than 11,000 acres of natural land, including more than 50 nature preserves in Lancaster and York counties and more than 60 miles of trails. People can support the organization by participating in educational events throughout the year, volunteering with the group or donating to the cause.

As she gears up for Water Week, Van Etten expressed gratitude for the collaborative nature of the event.

“We are so grateful for the incredible partners and sponsors that make Water Week possible and all the community members that join us for events during Water Week,” she said. “Without these, Water Week wouldn’t happen.”

Program to Focus on Shorebirds

The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, June 11, at 7 p.m. at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens.

Emmy Casper, a wildlife biologist with Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, will present “Monitoring American Oystercatchers on the Delaware Bay.” Breeding populations of American oystercatchers have been heavily monitored on New Jersey’s ocean beaches since 2003, but for years little was known about the oystercatchers nesting along the state’s Delaware Bay beaches. Casper will speak about how biologists

from the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, the Wetlands Institute, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service are working together on a new project to unravel the mysteries of the oystercatchers. Casper will share stories from the field and discuss how on-the-ground monitoring, trail cameras, and bird banding are all being used.

The program is free of charge. For more information, call 717-891-8145 or 717-725-2717. Information about the LCBC is available at www.lancaster birdclub.org, www.face book.com/lancasterbird club, and www.instagram .com/lancasterbirdclub.
