📢 Schedule Update – County Location Deployments

As we continue to adapt to meet the needs of our community and manage resources wisely, we want to inform you that we will be reducing the number of scheduled deployments to county locations starting May 1, 2025.

This decision was not made lightly and reflects current funding, supply availability, and evolving needs. We remain committed to serving with excellence and compassion, and will continue to provide consistent services in Lancaster City.

🙏 We deeply appreciate your continued support, understanding, and flexibility as we work to serve our neighbors in the most impactful way possible.
