Open House & ExtraGive Celebration 2026

Come see what’s growing at the Loft on Friday, November 20, 2026!

Join us for an open house & ExtraGive Celebration featuring an evening of community, connection, food, and impact at our new Community Resource Facility (100 E. Charlotte Street in Millersville). 

Doors open at 4:00 PM for:

  • Happy Hour, hors d’oeuvres & a loaded baked potato bar
  • Tours of our new facility
  • Stories from neighbors whose lives have been impacted by the Loft
  • A firsthand look at why The Loft is MORE THAN A PANTRY

And because it’s Extra Give Day, you’ll have the opportunity to GIVE and help us continue connecting neighbors to food, resources, relationships, and opportunity.

Driving Out Hunger Golf Tournament

We are thrilled to announce we raised $32,900 at our 3rd Annual Driving Out Hunger Golf Tournament, presented by GR Mitchell & Ironstone Building Materials! All proceeds help the Loft provide food security for 400+ families weekly. Thank you for stepping up to the tee and driving real change with us!

Thank you to our sponsors!

The Loft Pool Party

Our Neighbors and Volunteers enjoyed a free evening of swimming and fun on July 27 at The Millersville Lion’s Club! We had a lovely evening of cooling off, hanging out, and sharing a delicious meal together!

A huge thank you to the Lions Club and Blue Rock Fire Department for donating the sodas, cakes, and burgers. We also want to thank the many volunteers who prepared and served food. Finally, thank you again to the Millersville Lions Club Pool for hosting us!

Dad Rock Dance Party!

Our community raised over $14,600 for The Loft’s Nourish & Grow Summer Lunch Program, all while cranking up ’70s & ’80s classic rock anthems. Every ticket, song request, and dance move helped provide healthy summer meals for Penn Manor students.

Not ready to take a bow? Donate today to help us feed local students during the 2026 summer break.

Spring Garden Fundraiser

We are delighted to share that we raised over $15,500 at our 3rd Annual Grow with Us Spring Fundraiser! That’s enough money to provide groceries for our over 400 families for a month. Unlike other pantries in Lancaster County, the Loft opens its doors so that our neighbors can shop weekly. We rely on donations from our community to keep our shelves stocked each week.

We’d like to thank the following sponsors.

Extra Give Happy Hour

Thanks to everyone who came out to The Bunker at Crossgates in Millersville on Friday, November 21st. We had a great time and made a lot of money for a great cause. We raised $46,225 during the one-day giving event. The money will help us provide needed resources to our neighbors. Thanksgiving Comes Early – The Loft Community Partnership

Driving Out Hunger

The GR Mitchell Driving Out Hunger Golf Tournament was a huge success. Even though the weather was a bit cool, the comradery on the course was warm, and the outcome was hot. Thanks to our donors, sponsors and participants, we raised over $33,000 – 110% of our goal.

The money raised will help us continue to provide food security for our neighbors. With our buying power from the Central PA Food Bank, we will be able to provide milk, eggs, bread and groceries to 400 families every week for 3 months. That’s huge! We couldn’t have done it without the support of our community.

Mark your calendars for next year – September 8, 2026, for our third annual Driving Out Hunger Golf Tournament on Hunger Action Day 2026.

Thank you to all of our sponsors! Check them out.
