Lancaster County Project For The Needy - Christmas Food Basket Delivery
Formed in 1986, this all volunteer group raises money and collects food to distribute to needy families. The food is given out on a first-come, first-serve basis. Groceries given to each individual or family are equivalent to two grocery bags and include items such as a 10-12 pound turkey, eggs, milk, bread, potatoes, frozen vegetables and fruit. Monetary donations are welcome and are used to defray the costs of purchasing the groceries. The cost to feed one family is generally about $30.00. Donations should be sent to the Project and should be marked: Lancaster County Project for the Needy 5813 Wild Lilac Drive East Petersburg, PA 17520
