SUMMARY:Community Workshop in Lancaster\, Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a nonprofit or church leader\, staff member\, board member\, or volunteer—if you’re involved in poverty alleviation in the Lancaster\, PA area\, this is for you!\n\n\n\n\nConestoga Valley Christian Community Services is partnering with True Charity to bring this  Community Workshop to Lancaster\, PA. \nJoin us to reimagine the way we fight poverty. Together\, we’ll explore what it really means to walk alongside those in need—helping them connect with family\, friends\, and community in ways that foster lasting change. You’ll discover how to recognize each person’s unique needs and apply tailored solutions that turn charity from a transaction into a catalyst for transformation. \nWe’ll wrestle with big questions: Do we truly believe that every individual brings gifts and skills to the table? How can we design programs that break cycles of dependency and empower people to thrive? You’ll learn how the principles of exchange and reciprocity can restore dignity\, making those you serve the protagonists of their own story. \nFinally\, we’ll reflect on the deeper work of poverty alleviation—addressing not just physical needs but spiritual ones. Together\, we’ll see how the love of God transforms both the helper and the helped\, inspiring hope and freedom for everyone involved. \nDATE: Saturday\, October 24\, 2026 \nTIME: 9:00–4:30; Lunch is provided \nVENUE: Conestoga Church of the Brethren \nLOCATION: 141 East Main St\, Leola\, PA 17540 \nCOST*: Early bird $30 until September 25\, then $35 after\n \nREGISTRATION: Closes October 16th\n \nSPONSOR: Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services \nWho should attend? \n\nPastors/Missions Pastors\nChurch staff and volunteers\, especially those involved or wanting to become involved in benevolence/poverty alleviation\nNonprofit leaders\, board members\, and volunteers\nCity officials (i.e.\, City Manager\, Mayor\, and city council members)\nCommunity/Business Leaders – especially those who are active in church ministries/volunteering\nDonors/Financial supporters/Philanthropists\nCivic organizations that donate to poverty alleviation efforts\nAnyone else interested in Poverty Alleviation and maximizing community assets\n\n\n\nLocation\nConestoga Church of the Brethren\, 17540
