Announcements
Joan Espenshade Honored
In March for Women’s History Month, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker (Pa.’s 11th Congressional district) honored Power Packs Project founder, Joan Espenshade, on the floor of the House of Representatives.
“I would like to recognize Ms. Joan Espenshade, a woman from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who gave back to our community by creating an extraordinary program to feed those in need,” Smucker said. “In 2005, Joan learned that some local children were food insecure on weekends when the school’s free lunch program was not available to them, so she decided to step in and help parents make better use of their limited food dollars.”
Smucker noted that Espenshade founded Power Packs Project to provide food and nutritional information to low-income families. Today, Power Packs serves families in 45 schools in 13 school districts in Lancaster, Pa., and three school districts in Lebanon, Pa. “Her vision and impact can still be seen as the program continues today,” Smucker said during his tribute to Espenshade.
