Lancaster County Businesses, Individuals Help Others
We love seeing examples of how individuals and businesses in our community reach out in times of need to help others less fortunate. We thought we’d list a couple examples here so you can see what others are doing. Maybe it will trigger an idea of something you or your family or business can do to help others.
In the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), Jesus told the story of a man who was beaten, robbed, and left lying along the road. Two prominent people walked by on the other side of the road and did nothing to help. But then a good Samaritan found him, bandaged his wounds, and put him up in an inn overnight, paying for all his expenses. Jesus concluded the parable by saying, “You go, and do likewise.”
We all need to ask what we can do to reach out in love to meet the needs of those around us. If you know of someone who is doing something now to help our community please let us know so we we can share it here.
Examples From the Lancaster Community
It has been so encouraging to see how many in the community are stepping up to help out neighbors and strangers alike. One of the many examples of this is how the local Amish community is coming together to sew thousands of masks to be distributed throughout Lancaster County.
