Community Courier and York County Food Bank

A Day at the Fair

By Jeremy Swiger

Engle Printing and Publishing has had a history of helping York County in any way they can. Known as the publisher of the Auto Locator and York Community Courier, they have teamed up with the York County Food Bank in the past. On September 9th, just one day after massive floods ravished York County, Engle Printing and Publishing did it again. At their annual Community Courier day at the York County Fair they hosted a way for York community members to give and receive in return. By clipping out a coupon from the community courier, readers were able to enter the park for free, and receive a chance at fantastic prizes including car washes, spa days, and a grand prize of a VIP package from the York Revolutions. As an added bonus, fair goers could bring in food donations for additional chances to win. These donations were then donated to the York County Food Bank to benefit members of our community who sit below the poverty line.

Engle Printing and Publishing did a fantastic job, and York County answered the call. Despite the weather still being gray and dismal looking, and many homes are still water logged, event managed to collect an amazing 435 pounds of food. We would like to thank them for their continued support and kindness that they show the York County Food Bank, and express how grateful we are for everything they do for York County.
