Volunteers help at food bank in Lancaster County
MANHEIM, Pa. (WHTM) — Wednesday’s hometown heroes gathered on short notice.
Volunteers at Lititz Chooses Love, which is an LGBTQ support organization helped sort 6,000 pounds of food and drinks for a food pantry in the community at the St. Paul Penryn Church in Manheim.
The weather delayed the delivery of food and there was not going to be enough time to sort it for local families, so the group called on the community for help.
