Food Pantry lists needs While all non-perishable foods are welcome at any time by the Back Mountain Food Pantry, the greatest needs currently are for cereal, rice, two-pound bags of sugar, apple sauce, baked beans, kidney beans, spaghetti sauce, boxed pudding, mayonnaise, canned or evaporated milk and canned items including meat, fish, tomatoes, beets, carrots, potatoes and any kind of fruit. Due to the generosity of Back Mountain residents, the food pantry was able to help dozens of families during the cold and snowy months. Without the supplies of food at the pantry, many families would have been forced to choose between food and fuel, and many elderly resi- dents would have been forced to choose between food and their medications. Individuals or groups wishing to donate food may call the food pantry at 696-2917 for informa- tion or to arrange a mutually convenient time for volunteers on duty to receive the food. Lupus support group slated every month A Lupus Support Group Meet- ing is scheduled for 7 p.m. the first Tuesday of every month at the Tunkhannock Public Li- brary, West Tioga Street.

Sponsor-A-Cow campaign is successful With the help of community support, The Lands at Hillside Farms has completed its Spon- sor-A-Cow campaign, exceeding the original goal of $150,000 goal by raising a total of $155,750 to put toward the herd. This means that The Lands at Hillside Farms is once again a comprehensive dairy farm and the only dairy and farm (process- ing facility) currently operating in Luzerne County. The money raised through the campaign has been used to offset the costs associated with feeding “and caring for the animals. From the time the sponsorship pro- gram started last May, The Lands at Hillside Farms has received contributions that placed spon- sors in one of two sponsor cate- gories, either the permanent Herd Founder’s Society (gift of $1500 or more) or in the annual Haymaker’s Society (amounts up to $750 that help offset the an- nual costs associated with feed/ care of the animals). Sponsors have been invited to a reception on May 10, 2008, hon- oring their participation in this historic campaign. In the meantime, some spon- sors have already become bud- dies with their adopted cow. Chil- dren from Luzerne County Head Start eagerly sponsored a cow Are You Do You Feel If pain or fear of falling is physical therapy program early this fall and have been tak- ing classroom trips regularly to visit their calf, Buttercup, getting in the hands-on educational op- portunities at the farm. The Lands at Hillside Farms plans to keep the community in- volved with the herd through fu- ture efforts in cow sponsorship and other events. Participating in the Haymaker’s Society will be an annual way for interested people or organizations to support the feed and care of the cows. There will be opportunities to adopt newborn calves. . “The cow sponsorship pro- gram was our first major fun- draising effort at the Lands at Hillside Farms,” said = Andy Check, executive director. “We are elated with the sponsor sup- port. The return of a dairy herd and farming to The Lands at Hill- side Farms brings a heartbeat to our mission and restoration work! Starting a dairy farm in Lu- zerne County, even Pennsylvania for that matter, is certainly big and welcome news."
