I just wanted to say for anybody interested, almost everything we brought home was outdated. My daughter got sick on something and we're not even sure what. If you decide to shop here, PLEASE check the dates on your items. Most of the things are over a year outdated. I don't know how they get away with that legally. I won't shop here again.

This is a food bank…read more Why give? Because they're working hard to get food into hungry people's hands. This is a mission. They have to break even, but this is a mission of theirs. It's worth supporting. 1. You may make a food donation, if you have something in quantity that is of good quality that you're ready to donate. 2. The second way to help is to give your time. They need help making up boxes (about 30 lbs per box of fresh food) that are distributed to needy persons up and down the east coast of the US and out into the middle of the country. 3. Give em some cash. They have to pay for all their utilities and their building and they have paid staff as well as volunteers. This food bank makes up food boxes that get distributed not just all over Lancaster County, but all over the eastern half of the country. They really help a LOT of people. You can make a difference helping them help others. Lancaster County is a special place. Blessings of Hope is part of what makes it special.

Been to the Community bowling alley (free when accompanied by a resident) that has some arcade games (free) and ice cream shop. There are other amenities open to the WV Community that aren't housed in the main building as well.

They do things like changing the meal plan without input from the residents. They are supporting the construction of a very large residential building in downtown Lancaster which is selling slowly and the current residents of WV are concerned that at some point the cost, if not fully sold will have to be picked up by the current WV residents. The administration tries to cover this up. The weekly paper, The Insider, has several errors and should have a proofreader before it is distributed to the residents. What about Chautauqua Hall? It is a wonderful building on our grounds but cannot be used in the winter. not heated or in the summer, no a/c. This would be a better way to spend our money so that the current residents could use it year round.

I've long been a fan since their early days and old location in Bridgeport....... In case you're not familiar with what ReStore is it's a store consisting entirely of donated (new/used) building materials and supplies. It's a great resource for anyone remodeling or doing home maintenance that wants to save a few bucks. Since my last time here they've added a few departments and also now offer furniture. Check here before heading to Lowes or Home Depot because there's a good chance you'll find what you need. Windows, doors, cabinets, tubs, desks, lighting fixtures, paint and more are some of the departments, but there's so much more! Some examples of my experiences over the years: When we needed a vintage toilet lid we found it here - $4? When we tore out our old kitchen we donated our cherry cabinets to them - I'm sure they are living on as extra storage in a garage. When I needed a stainless steel sink and didn't like the price my contractor had quoted I found one here like new for $8. Ditto for 2 bathroom remodels - I got brand new Kohler drop in sinks for $8 each, years apart. When I needed new knobs I got them here for mere pennies. I also needed a small amount of tile for a mosiac project and found it here. You'd be surprised at how many of the products are new! Builders donate leftover materials and change orders here. Stores will donate their overstock. Aside from the new merchandise there's vintage supplies from remodels. They are a great resource for matching up trims. If you are a homeowner make this one of your regular stops.

Since COVID they have in my opinion been beyond USELESS. 4. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE, I will be contacting my local State Representative and COMPLAINING. 5. UNFORTUNATELY before I signed my daughter up for this service I didn't realize how MONEY HUNGRY they are. - My reasoning is quite simple 3 years later I find out that if I had gone with a NON-PROFIT organization that people I hire for my daughters care would be getting $21+ an hour. UDS lmao, these money grubers pay less than $13 an hour. (yes I could change the program I put my child in, BUT THEN she would be put on a waiting list, for who knows how long and lose all current services until she is accepted. ACCORDING TO UDS REPRESENTATIVE) -If you end up hospitalized and can't care for your child/parent YOU WILL HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS to get them to pay for emergency/extended hours to any DIRECT CARE WORKER over 8 hours a day even though they will be caring for your child/parent 24/7 UNTIL YOU RETURN HOME, IF YOU RETURN HOME.

TimeLine…read more In Nov of 2017, Keith decided to finally get a will based on the hospital request and personal choices because of his disability including being legally blind. The will was certified with two bankers that questioned Keith about the understandings of the will, and what his wishes where. It was Keith desire to leave me the home because of all I've done for him and his mom. So his sister knew months before he passed that the house was to be given to me. I also have proof of this via text messages, emails, and video messages. February 7th, 2018. Keith A Crabbe of 692 Euclid Ave Lancaster Passed away from struggles with diabetes. I was his power of attorney and executor listed on his will with co-executor his half-sister Cassaundra Broaddus. We weren't related by blood, however, I considered him my dad/ uncle and the day I got married he walked me down the aisle. March 2nd, 2017 I stopped by Habitat for Humanity Lancaster Location speaking with Andrew Szalay providing a copy of the death certificate for Keith Crabbe and co-owner Carolyn Broaddus his mother that passed away in March 2017 and the Will. At that time Andrew said he would be needing to meet with the board for habitat because this had never happened before where both owners were passed and because they were a nonprofit and the lien holder. At that time his recommendation would be a transfer of the original mortgage to me with the assumption of the mortgage. March 20tth 2017 I provide a copy of my bank statements, a copy of my credit report, and drivers license to Andrew. He shook my hand and thanked me stating "the debt is yours now". At the moment the balance of the mortgage was $ 16,430. I was represented by Julia Parrish of Mcmahon, winters, and Ortis and told her about the steps I would be taking to resolve this matter directly with Habitat. Please note I have a copy of all emails exchanges. However, once the board reviewed my income, they request I get a personal mortgage to take care of the balance. I agreed and went through GmHmortage located in Lancaster working with Jack Bennett. April 13th, 2018 The mortgage was approved pending Habitat agreed to transfer the mortgage in my name which they originally agreed to Per emails dated April 17-20 Then Habitat came back stating they wouldn't and the deed would need to come from the estate, at this time the co-executor started making problems. and refusing to work with me to close the estate out. I then contact Habitat about simply paying off the balance in cash and they once again said they would do it. but didn't follow through. July 2nd, 2018, I emailed Andrew again trying to take care of this mortgage and asking them to finally follow through on the settlement agreements. Which again he gave me the runaround Aug 2018 we began the process to remove Cassandra from co-executor do to her intentionally .delaying the closing process. My attorney submitted all paperwork and forward to Habitat. Oct 2018 received notice of foreclosure and requested a meeting with Habitat for Humanity and Don Hess their representing firm. They refused to meet about settling the estate. Noc 28th Finally had Cassaundra remove as co-executor on the Estate but had to wait too receive my official seals of the estate. Jan 8th, 2019 I finally received my seals from the courthouse which had been delayed due to human error. Once again we reached out to try to settle the estate. Yet they pushed for a court hearing seeking a judgment against the estate for the balance owed. Feb 2019 I requested a pay off balance, requested which I expected would be a balance of the mortgage taxes and fair legal fees associated with the estate. Thus the last emailed received before the balance requested for their legal fees were $2370 however upon balance request for payoff they where claiming legal fees of almost $10,000 which is fabricated and abuse of powers
