Fellowship Days and the online Benefit Auction are coming on September 8 – 13, 2025. It’s a special time when our community gathers together and ‘Fills the Gap’ for those needing financial assistance from the Caring Fund.

One of the most fun parts of the online Benefit Auction is seeing the generosity and craftsmanship of those who handcraft items for bidding. Landis Homes resident Lee is one of those special crafters!

“I began sewing when I was five years old and then I taught myself how to crochet. Over the years, I have made a lot of things from sweaters to sport jackets for my late husband to socks. While I’ve stopped sewing as much, my favorite thing to do now is crochet animals. I started making small ones at first but now I like making larger ones. I like to turn on the tv and watch Jeopardy while I crochet. People have generously donated yarn to me and I like contributing to the Caring Fund in this way. It’s a fun thing to do,” Lee shared.

We all have something special to share with others! If handcrafting an item for donation, making new friends, and helping to raise money for the Caring Fund is something you would like to do, contact Janice Nikoloff, Advancement Events Coordinator, at (717) 381-3580.
