Lenten Appeal 2020

     Trinity’s Lenten Appeal this year will be helping people in need right here in the United States.  We will be collecting funds for two ELCA’s programs. First to support Soup Kitchens across the country, some of which are organized by ELCA congregations. Meals at soup kitchens can feed 10 people for $20 or 50 people for $100.  Second to support the Stock a Backpack With Food programs.  One backpack can be stocked for $10.  This is like the Power Pack program we currently support here in Ephrata with food for children, on meal assistance in school, on weekends at home. This appeal will begin on Sunday March 1^st and run through Sunday April 26^th.  There are special envelopes in the pew envelope holders to assist everyone in supporting this special appeal.

     It is not necessary to specify which of the programs to support.  When the appeal is completed the Stewardship Committee will divide the money collected appropriately between these two programs, and it will be sent to ELCA for distribution. Thanks in advance for your support of this program.  This is another opportunity for us to be looking beyond our doors and doing God’s work for all people.                           Stewardship Committee

Ephrata Area Social Services 

Neighbors Helping Neighbors:

     Started in 1971 by a group of local churches, Ephrata Area Social Services was formed with a commitment to the ideal of "Neighbors Helping Neighbors." The Planning Committee, in October of 1970 challenged the community with a dream to become a "community of the concerned." To recognize that "in the midst of a flourishing economy, there are those in need who are all but forgotten to their community." It is with those inspirations that EASS has grown to be a diverse provider of services capable of meeting an ever-increasing demand from neighbors in need.

     EASS is a non-profit organization serving the Ephrata and Cocalico Regions of Northern Lancaster County. The criterion for eligibility is the expression of a legitimate need for help. EASS receives its support from the community. Donations come from churches, civic organizations, private individuals, businesses and local foundations. EASS receives no public funds...

     Ephrata Area Social Services, a tradition of reliability, providing services to those in need living in the Ephrata and Cocalico region
