The Rotary Club of Mount Joy is holding a special fundraising project for the Wittel Growing Project.  Wittel Farms LCC, in partnership with Hunger-Free Lancaster County, is in its 3rd year undertaking an ambitious new initiative at their farm in Elizabethtown. The Wittel Growing Project grows fresh vegetables to help feed hungry people in Lancaster County, and throughout south-central Pennsylvania.

 

In 2017, The Wittel Farm Growing Project expanded from two to five acres, and it will cover 5 acres again in 2018. There they raise sweet corn, peppers, tomatoes, various greens, and sweet potatoes. The fresh food is distributed through the local food banks all summer long.

 

Though free to the food recipients, projects like this incur significant costs. The Rotary Club of Mount Joy is holding an online benefit auction to raise $2500 to support this important local service. More than 20 items are up for your review. Bid securely through the Rotary Facebook page. The auction opens, Friday, June 22 at 8:00 AM and will continue through Monday, June 25 at 5:00 PM.
