Wanted to throw this out here, I know PP&L is doing their water and ice reimbursement which is nice but the biggest impacts for families without power is the loss of food. So are there any local organizations doing food drives for impacted families at all?
Hi everyone, with the Code Red in effect wanted to share the resources we have for our county in case you or someone you know needs a cooling station. This article from LNP provides hours and addresses for Lancaster City & for the county. Stay safe and stay cool 💜
“The Columbia Dream Center at 360 Locust St. in Columbia announced it will be operating as a cooling station this week and was currently accepting donations of bottled water.
“We are also continuing our Free Lunch for Kids program while supporting the homeless community,” the center wrote in a social media post Monday. “With the rising temperatures, access to cold drinking water is critical.”

Hi if you lost your phone at Lincoln Highway Walmart it is with guest services.
Hi all, was wondering if anyone knew of any local bird rehabilitation places. There’s this cute little bird next to my job who isn’t moving but breathing. Didn’t touch it but the bird didn’t fly away when I got close. Any help is appreciated.
Update: Bird is okay and I watched it fly away, thank you everyone for the help and info on what type of bird it was!
