Community Engagement
HADC focuses on ways to improve our community and help our fellow residents. Hopefully, these activities will also allow us to reach people with whom we don't normally engage.
October 2026: Clothing Drive
The Lancaster Food Hub in downtown Lancaster provides food and clothing to Lancaster County's low income and unsheltered residents. Their clothing bank alone serves over 17,500 people per year! We are collecting the following items:
NEW men's boxer briefs, larger sizes
NEW women's panties, larger sizes
NEW children's underwear, any size
NEW socks for men, women, children
NEW or GENTLY USED bras, any size
If you would like to help with our FIRST CLOTHING INGATHERING, please bring donations to any of the following events:
Trivia night at Twisted Bine on September 15
Reading Liberally at Hempfield Rec on September 23
Meeting Liberally in the Park (Amos Herr) on October 3
