Model Railroad Displays To Benefit Food Pantries

ou know, the churches are supposed to work together,” said Rick

Christopher, a participant with the New Danville Mennonite Church’s New Danville Railroad.

For 2025, the church’s model railroad will join forces with

Al Strausner and his grandson Matthew Palmeri, along with model train enthusiast Justin Trout, to hold the seventh model railroad display to raise funds

and collect food for two area food pantries.

A love of model railroads and a spirit of cooperation is evident when the organizers of the tour

Presents 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 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 30, at Lancaster Farm

Preparing local students to be valuable employees in an ever-changing work climate is not a job for one individual, one group or even one institution. It takes an alliance. It takes a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) alliance. It takes Lancaster County STEM Alliance (LCSA).

and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.

The event is free to attend, and the proceeds from the sale of the meaningful gifts will go to the nonprofits represented at the fair.

“There’s a palpable 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 services 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, jewelry 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. I think the people at the fair 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 Lancaster 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://giftsthatgive hopelancaster.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. I think 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.” Fair from pg 2

“In the business community, there was a lot of talk that students were graduating and needed to be totally trained,” said Lauren Miller, a Manheim Township resident who is the executive director of LCSA. “We saw that the teachers were working their tails off, so there was this disconnect. We needed to be aligned. We didn’t want our talent to grow here and then leave because they didn’t think there were career opportunities here. The business world is changing so much

and so quickly that we still need to have these tricky conversations.”

Headquartered at 23 E. King St., Lancaster, LCSA is a consortium dedicated to helping Lancaster County students to become workforce ready by the time they graduate from high school. The organization’s 25-member advisory board meets four times each year to brainstorm, analyze data, set goals and implement policies.

“To collectively impact, that’s been the whole pur-

OAK SHADE TREE

pose of why we exist,” said Miller. “No one person can solve our workforce challenges. That’s where the power happens. We say, ‘Join the movement.’ No one organization has all the resources or all the answers. We have to be leveraging each other’s strengths.”

Each September LCSA conducts its Workforce 2030 Summit, an annual conference designed to make Lancaster County a work-ready community by 2030. This year, more than 250 educators, business leaders, representatives of nonprofits and community partners attended.

LCSA also engages in grant-giving, programs, projects and learning platforms like apprenticeships, internships, job shadowing, company tours and mentoring.

“To me, the term STEM is all about creative thinking, problem-solving and

all the things that make you successful in the workplace,” said Miller. “It’s the Lancaster County STEM Alliance’s belief that all Lancaster County students should be graduating with basic STEM skills. STEM jobs pay well, and the demand for them is growing.”

LCSA is a collaborative network of dozens of local organizations similar to the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Lancaster-Lebanon IU13 and the United Way of Lancaster County. LCSA also works closely with the county’s 16 public school districts and 15 non-public schools located in Lancaster County.

“We’re hyper-focused on Lancaster County,” said Miller. “I think the people who are involved with the Lancaster County STEM Alliance are civically minded community leaders who are committed to

Lancaster County residents having life-sustaining wages. They want to make Lancaster better. They’re willing to invest their capital and resources to ensure people have jobs that are meaningful.”

In 2024, 23,000 individuals participated in LCSA programs.

“We’ve always needed essential life skills,” said Miller. “But work has become more technology driven. The world of work is no longer factory based, and work has required us to do more thinking. Jobs look very different today.”

Miller and foundation program coordinator Andrew Garner make up LCSA’s two-employee staff, but the organization relies heavily on the contributions of numerous volunteers. LCSA’s work is almost entirely funded through the Steinman Foundation, whose mission is to ensure quality of life for all the citizens of Lancaster County.

“We have a committed group of people who are trying to prepare the workforce of tomorrow,” said Miller. “It’s not just the sole responsibility of parents or educators to prepare the new generation for work. We all play a critical role in a student’s education. We really need the community to open doors to the education system.”

LCSA was established in 2015. A year later, the organization was recognized nationally as a STEM ecosystem.

“I think a large majority of the community doesn’t even know we exist,” said Miller. “But we have definitely grown quite a bit over the last three years. We’re only as strong as the network of people who are supporting us. There are a lot of ways to get involved in the Lancaster County STEM Alliance.”

Church To Offer GriefShare Seminar

The Wakefield Vineyard Church, 2292 Robert Fulton Highway, Peach Bottom, will host a Surviving the Holidays GriefShare seminar on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 8:30 to 11 a.m.

Surviving the Holidays is an encouraging seminar for people facing the holidays after a loved one’s death. The program features video interviews with counselors, grief experts, and other people who have experienced the holidays after their loved one’s death and who offer practical suggestions and reassurance.

Topics will include being prepared for surprising

emotions that may hit over the holidays; what to do about traditions and other coming changes; how to handle holiday parties and invitations; how to survive potentially awkward moments with other people; and where to find comfort, strength, and hope in a seemingly hopeless time.

Child care is not available. There is a fee for the workbook.

For more information, contact the church at 717-955-0173. To register for the seminar, visit www.griefshare.org/ findagroup and search for “Peach Bottom.”

Model Railroad

discuss the upcoming event. “These guys are just coming on board,” said Strausner of the New Danville group. Trout first took part in the effort in 2024. This year, Strausner and Palmeri, a Penn Manor High School senior, will again construct a temporary model railroad layout at West Willow United Methodist Church (UMC), 118 West Willow Road, Willow Street. Trout’s model railroad is located at 1729 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street, and the New Danville Railroad travels the track laid out at the church, 103 Marticville Road, Lancaster. All three locations will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, Dec. 6, 13, 20, and 27, and Sundays, Dec. 7, 14, 21, and 28. At each display, organizers will receive donations of nonperishable food items and cash. Food and funds will be divided between Solanco Neighborhood Ministries and Conestoga Community Food Bank, located at Bethel Evangelical Congregational Church. Strausner reported that in 2024, more than 360 food items were donated, and $1,500 was raised by the effort.

New Danville Mennonite has had a permanent 8-by-31-foot model railroad layout in the church basement for more than a decade. A few of the buildings were hand-built by hobbyist Chubb Harnish. As a fellow aficionado, Strausner knew of the church’s layout, and he asked the New Danville group to join in his mission. The model railroad layout is not the only attraction at the church, however. According to New Danville pastor Robert Brody, the congregation’s association with trains began a dozen years ago with an effort to build the children’s program using a popular toy. “It started with a small Lego train,” recalled Brody, who noted that this year 30,000 pieces of Legos will be available for the community to build a train display. Christopher added that an interactive wooden train set will be on-site for young children to play with. Hot chocolate and other refreshments will also be offered when the display is open. “It’s a festive time of year,” noted Brody. Strausner’s 12-by-20foot layout focuses on his

Plasticville collection, along with some circus trains and accessories provided by Ben Stiles. “It’s a 4-by-6foot complete circus with an original 1930s toy tent as the big top,” explained Strausner.

The project is a labor of love for Strausner and Palmeri, who have both been enamored of trains since they were children. By Saturday, Nov. 22, the portable layout will be installed at West Willow UMC by the duo with help from friends and family.

“We can put the platform and track together in two hours,” shared Strausner.

Palmeri, who is now 18, has been working on the layout with Strausner since the project began. He said that his favorite part of creating the display is working alongside his grandfather.

“During this time, we both work on a project we are passionate about and have fun together,” he stated, adding that both generations contribute to the planning and details of each year’s layout. But organizing and setting up the trains is only half the fun. “The best part of hosting the display is seeing the generosity of the visitors to the food drive,” said Palmeri. “It’s truly amazing to see the care that they have for giving to those in need.” Palmeri also enjoys “spreading the message of Christ’s birth” at the same time the project is helping the community. He pointed out that many of the visitors come for the nostalgia, while contributing to the well-being of their neighbors. “I think that people also find it fulfilling to bless others, especially during the Christmas season,” he said.

For Trout, the train display weekends offer an opportunity to bring out his vintage holiday decorations as well as share the permanent train display housed in a 1,300-squarefoot addition to his shop. Like the other participants, Trout has been involved in model railroading since he was a child, and his collection boasts Märklin, Lionel, and American Flyer trains. “I have standard-gauge trains from the 1930s. I have post-war Lionel from the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s,” noted Trout, adding that he has O-gauge, S-gauge, and standard-gauge trains. Trout’s stop on the tour

will also include “mechanical” department store displays. “Now they’re called animated,” said Trout, who has pieces by David Hamburger. “I have some of his elves,” shared Trout, who included Santa’s helpers in his 2024 display. Trout also owns Santa Clauses made by Harold Gale, as well as two bears that were originally in Kaufmann’s department store in Pittsburgh. “A lot of the older people loved the (animated window

characters) because it takes them back to when they were kids,” shared Trout, who added that visitors to the display often show up on more than one weekend. “We have a lot of fun, and we get to meet a lot of nice people,” shared Trout. “It puts a smile on my face to see people enjoy it.”
