Thank you to The Wittel Farm for the wonderful donations this afternoon!
It's that time of year again! THANK YOU to The Wittel Farm for your amazing donations of produce to the Cupboard for our clients to enjoy! We just received zucchini, tomatoes, cantaloupe and green peppers for our clients to enjoy this week!
Produce grown right here in E-town, and donated to local food banks in Central PA, The Wittel Farm is operated by volunteers, just like the Cupboard. We appreciate all of the time and work you put into providing fresh produce for our neighbors in need!

We are so thankful for amazing community partners, like The Wittel Farm - yesterday we received fresh and gorgeous zucchini’s and cucumbers to give to our families in their boxes. This ministry project between The Lutheran Camping Corporation of Central Pennsylvania, the Lower Susquehanna Synod ELCA, and Hunger-Free Lancaster County reclaims a portion of the acreage gifts to the LCC for its original use, farming. The crops harvested are donated to local families in need, and we think that’s fantastic! Thank you! Check out Wittel Farm & consider supporting them through a donation or volunteering.
Did you know that The Wittel Farm has an easy way for volunteer farmers to sign up for Creation Days? A great fellowship or youth group adventure.
Come on out to the The Wittel Farm Saturday and grow community, justice and food! We'll be there to roll up our sleeves and send up our petitions for the land, the people who care for it and those who are fed by the fruits of their labors. If you can't come, please remember all these in your prayers and remind lawmakers to support programs that remain vital to feeding hungry neighbors. Act here. https://support.elca.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=1351

Stumbled upon The Wittel Farm while on family-getaway in Elizabethtown, PA. What a nice retreat! I contacted Lower Susquehanna Synod ELCA to find out if lowly Metro D.C. Synod, ELCA folks are invited :-) . Where do you retreat?
We wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to all of the individuals and groups that have been donating produce to us over the past few weeks.
Thank you to the Masonic Victory Garden, the Winters Heritage House Museum, The Wittel Farm, and so many local farmers! Thank you to the local E-town residents as well, who are donating from their personal garden!
Fresh produce helps our partnership with Feeding Pennsylvania and our clients are very thankful for all of your donations.
