ow do you tackle a widespread problem? With a united front. Homelessness in the Warwick School District is no less a problem than it is in many communities across Lancaster County. The mission of Warwick Community Hub (WCH), which is to lessen the effects of homelessness, is both shared and supported by the Lancaster County Homelessness Coalition (LCHC). “It’s been a joy for us to connect with them,” said Charis Pankratz, who’s been WCH’s resource coordinator for three years. “It’s a way to connect with agencies. We believe we’re better together. We think we’re better off being able to acquire resources we didn’t have. The issue Pankratz (left) of the Warwick Community Hub and Deb Jones of of housing and homelessness is big Charis the Lancaster County Homelessness Coalition work together to battle

Volunteers Keep Chocolate Walk Moving Forward BY JEFF FALK
Volunteers make the extensive world of local nonprofits revolve. Service clubs like the Kiwanis Club of Lititz couldn’t stage events like the Chocolate Walk without the assistance of outside volunteers. “Our volunteers usually come from the Lititz community,” said Louise Stickler, the volunteer coordinator for the annual Chocolate Walk. “Many come from the organizations we give money to. I think they’re generally people who want to help other people. There’s a lot of camaraderie. There’s a lot of Volunteers (from left) Donna Hammond, Sue fun, just because of the situation.” Kroeck, Sue Kroeck and Danielle Elmer get ready R122032
Supporting Girls and Women With Dignity BY CAT SHANNON
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? ... I tell my girls, ‘You don’t have to be embarrassed by this topic.’ I want to help people who don’t have access to products most of us take for granted.” Zeitler discovered I Support the Girls in late 2024. When she realized Lancaster no longer had an active chapter, she quickly stepped up. The hyperlocal aspect drew her in. “I like that the bras you’re giving are not going to women in another state,” she said. “ They’re going right back to local women. I also wanted to be sure these bras were going to women in need who were going to use them.” I Support the Girls began 10 years ago when founder Dana Marlowe started the organization in the Washington, D.C., area. From one donated bra, the organization has grown to more
