Humane League of Lancaster County – Spring Community Service Partner

LYP — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:24:20 +0000

For the second quarter of 2012, LYP has chosen the Humane League of Lancaster County as our Community Service partner. The Humane League of Lancaster County is an independent, non-profit charity that is recognized as the area's leader in animal welfare and is dedicated to preventing animal suffering and cruelty and to providing quality care for every animal. The Humane League offers animals a refuge, regardless of whether we believe that animal is adoptable.

From April through June, Lancaster Young Professionals will be collecting items from the Humane League's Wish List. Some examples that are most valuable to the Humane League include: canned puppy food, canned cat and kitten food, cat litter, Science Diet Small Bites adult dog and puppy food, collars and leashes, Baggin Strips & Snausages and much much more! View the complete wish list at http://humaneleague.com/donate/wishlist/ and their Amazon wish list at http://goo.gl/6splP.

For more information about the Humane League of Lancaster County, visit their website at humaneleague.com.
Any questions about LYP’s charity drive should be directed to C ommunity Service.

Our goal is to collect 100 items by the end of June– but we need your help! So next time you’re at the store, pick up a few extra items and bring them along to the next mixer. Together we can help save the lives of rescue animals in Lancaster County!

Central PA Food Bank – Winter Community Service Partner

Eric Kazda — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:35:35 +0000

For the first quarter of 2012, LYP has chosen the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank as our Community Service partner. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank distributes more than 15 million pounds food and grocery products every year to more than 500 soup kitchens, shelters, and food pantries in 27 Central Pennsylvania counties. These agencies directly feed thousands of hungry families throughout Central Pennsylvania – including Lancaster. We’d like to do our part and have a food drive through one of their “slow times of year”.

For the next three months at our monthly mixers, we’ll be collecting non-perishable items to donate at the end of March. Some examples that are most valuable to the food bank include: canned tuna, canned meats and stews, soup, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta and rice, canned and dried beans, pure fruit and vegetable juices, and baby food, cereal and formula (must be within code date).

For more information about the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, visit their website at centralpafoodbank.org.
Any questions about LYP’s food drive should be directed to C ommunity Service.

Our goal is to collect 100 pounds of food by the end of March – but we need your help! So next time you’re at the store, pick up a few extra items and bring them along to the next mixer. Together we can help feed the hungry in Lancaster County!

Toys for Tots – Toy Collection at LYP Networking Mixers

Eric Kazda — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:49:17 +0000

LYP is helping to collect toys for the Lancaster County Marine Corps Auxiliary Toys for Tots. There will be a Toys for Tots collection box at each of upcoming networking mixers for October, November, and December. The toys need to be new unwrapped toys for children from 0+ up to 12 years of age. Since the vast majority of toys are manufactured for children between the ages of 3-8, Toys for Tots receives very few toys for the children aged 10 to 12 year age range. Any interested LYP members that have questions about what toys to donate or to find out more about Toys for Tots either go to the following website or email Jamie Dunkelberger.

Both facilities offer clients a 90-120 day intensive shelter program that through case-management and collaboration with other social service agencies, assist clients in overcoming the barriers that brought them to their current situation of homelessness.
