For many years, members of Salem Hellers Evangelical Reformed Church have held a lasagna dinner fundraiser in February. Last year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the event became a drive-through. Organizer Deb Burns reported that the sale was so successful, organizers ran out of food halfway through the three-hour event.
This year, the drive-through dinner will be held at the church, 2555 Horseshoe Road, Lancaster, on Saturday, Feb. 26, from 3 p.m. until the food is sold out. Those wishing to purchase lasagna are asked to take Horseshoe Road to Industrial Circle and enter the church driveway from the right side of Industrial Circle. Cars will then pull into the parking lot, where orders will be taken and cash payment will be accepted. Meals will be delivered to each car at the south entrance of the church, and signage will direct participants out of the parking lot.
As in the past, organizers will prepare up to 100 pans of lasagna in three varieties - hamburger, hamburger and sausage, and vegetable with a red sauce - on the day of the sale. Meals will each include a square of lasagna, a salad, garlic bread, and a homemade dessert. Dinners will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, but pans in each variety large enough to serve six must be preordered by Sunday, Feb. 13. Those wishing to order pans of lasagna may call 717-951-9717.
Past dinners have raised about $2,000 in funds, which have been used to support mission trips to Guatemala or JAARS in Waxhaw, N.C. "This year, everything will go into our mission fund and be used to support local, national, and international ministries," said Burns.
