Spread the Love Campaign
February invites us to reconsider love — not as sentiment, but as obedience
Anchor’s Spread the Love campaign offers tangible ways to give without needing to see how it all resolves. Socks folded. Supplies shared. Time offered freely.
At Anchor, love is rarely loud. It shows up in small decisions made faithfully: staying patient, choosing kindness, doing the next right thing when no one is watching.
This campaign is not about impact metrics. It is about trust — trusting that love released without condition travels farther than we can track.
We hope you’ll join us in practicing love that is quiet, courageous, and given freely.
2026 Gala
Anchor’s 2026 Annual Gala will take place on Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Lancaster County Country Club—an elegant setting for an evening devoted to sustaining the ministry God has established and faithfully carried forward.
This signature event is Anchor’s primary annual fundraiser, providing critical support for the work God continues to do through Anchor’s Day Center. The generosity shared during this evening helps sustain meals, showers, laundry, case management, and the daily presence of dignity and care for the guests we serve—neighbors navigating housing insecurity in Lancaster County.
Following a sold-out Gala last year, Anchor will gather this year in a new setting that allows for continued growth and broader community engagement. The evening brings together business leaders, philanthropic partners, and mission-minded supporters to steward resources wisely in service of a calling that is both practical and deeply rooted in faith. Guests will enjoy:
A thoughtfully curated dining experience
A selection of premium raffle baskets
A compelling live auction
Stories that testify to God’s provision and the impact of faithful generosity
For sponsors, the Gala offers an opportunity to partner in a ministry sustained by God’s faithfulness and carried forward through obedient stewardship. Because this event supports a significant portion of Anchor’s annual operating budget, early sponsorship conversations are strongly encouraged.
Tickets will open for purchase in Spring 2026, with availability limited.
