Thank You for Spreading the Love

LANCASTER, PA – Anchor Lancaster is pleased to announce that, thanks to the remarkable generosity of our community during our Spread the Love campaign, we have received enough ketchup to meet our needs for an entire year. This outpouring of support is a testament to the kindness and commitment of those who continue to stand with us in serving our guests.

“Each bottle donated is more than just a condiment—it is a symbol of the care and generosity that define our community,” said Aftan Hoffer, Director of Communications at Anchor Lancaster. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed, whether by donating a single bottle or by helping to spread the word about our campaign.”

At Anchor Lancaster, we receive most of our groceries from the Central PA Food Bank, but some items — like ketchup — are hard to come by. Having a year’s worth of ketchup for our guests is an absolute gift to our program.

Our kitchen manager, Stan, and all of our guests extend their heartfelt appreciation to those who made this effort possible. Because of this generosity, every meal served at Anchor Lancaster will be accompanied not only by a much-loved staple but also by the reminder that our community stands together in support of one another.

Anchor Lancaster remains committed to providing essential resources to those facing homelessness or hardship in Lancaster City, and this campaign serves as a powerful example of what can be achieved through collective action. We extend our sincere thanks to all who participated in making this initiative a success.
