City of Lancaster Getting More Trees, Thanks to a Grant From The GIANT Company and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful
(Chesapeake Bay Foundation) Supported by a Healing the Planet grant from The GIANT Company and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful®, the City of Lancaster will get new trees this fall, planted by award-winning volunteers for the Keystone 10 Million Trees (K10) Partnership.
“The GIANT Company is pleased to partner with Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful to provide a grant to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in support of its efforts to bring more trees to the Lancaster community,” said Courtney Hopcraft, manager of community relations and charitable giving for The GIANT Company. “Trees play a vital role in creating healthy communities and we are especially thrilled to see this grant benefit current and future students of McCaskey High School.”
The $4,000 Healing the Planet grant supports a tree planting in November at McCaskey High School, within the School District of Lancaster, led by Marlisa Yoder-Bontrager, and twin sisters Keisha and Tarsha Scovens. The three were recipients of the 2023 Mira Lloyd Dock Partnership Diversity Award, presented by the K10 Partnership, which is coordinated by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF).
