The June Nominees:
The Arc Lancaster Lebanon assists people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) and Autism and their families to navigate an often complex system by coming alongside and asking what makes a meaningful life and help identify what is needed to make that life happen (including, but not exclusively, services and supports). We believe a person with a disability has value and equal worth, and it benefits our community when people with disabilities are included. We work to counter the stigma that people with I/DD come upon daily and help overcome barriers to inclusion and achievement.
The Building Bridges Foundation at Anderson Farm was founded by Dave Anderson. As a veteran, Dave understands the sacrifices made by military service members and their families. His commitment to fulfilling the promise to care for those who served is deeply personal. Inspired by the memory of his brother, a fellow veteran who struggled with the traumas of combat and ultimately took his own life, Dave dedicated himself to providing a place where veterans can heal.
Determined to make a difference, Dave sought a way to help veterans navigate the challenges of transitioning to civilian life. Recognizing the profound impact of equine-assisted therapy, he established the foundation at Anderson Farm, where horses play a vital role in emotional healing and personal growth
The Lititz Warwick Community Chest assists families and individuals residing in the Warwick School District in Pennsylvania by providing food and assistance during temporary situations when other agency resources are not available.
In the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, quietly secured on 80 plus acres of natural woodland, you will find the home of the Wolves of Speedwell.
Wolf Sanctuary of PA, is a quiet haven just north of the town of Lititz, PA. For over 40 years, the Darlington Family has offered refuge to gray wolves and wolf-dogs. Wolves have been plagued by myth and misinformation for centuries. This has led to conservation issues across the globe, but it has also led to wolves being improperly handled as household pets. At Wolf Sanctuary of PA, gray wolves and wolf-dogs are given back their dignity. We are devoted to assuring the highest quality of care and enrichment for our wolves. Currently the sanctuary is home to over 50 gray wolves and wolf-dogs. Through guided tours we also seek to dispel some of the common myths about wolves and provide a more accurate and respectful image of this keystone species.
