icare 3 days of impact

Dear Friends, 
 
Mark your calendar for May 29–31—you’re invited to a powerful three-day experience unlike any other. The iCare Community Event is your chance to enjoy great food, uplifting fellowship, and a shared mission to fight food insecurity in our communities. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to our cause, this weekend is for you. 

Here’s what you can look forward to during this unforgettable event: 

Thursday, May 29 – iCare Banquet 

We’re kicking things off with a heartfelt evening that pays tribute to our co-founders’ Amish heritage. The iCare Banquet features a traditional Amish Wedding Meal, complete with PA Dutch “roasht,” mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed celery, noodles, roast beef, and classic desserts. 

But it’s more than just a meal—it’s a night to connect with fellow supporters, hear stories of lives changed through your generosity, and celebrate the impact we’re making together. 

Registration Deadline: May 27 (or while seats last!)

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:5-7
