Our Residents Rock!






We absolutely love when residents are having a great time!  Everyone had such a great time singing and singing along that we're adding karaoke to our regular programming every month!  And remember, it's called karaoke, not "carry a tune,"  so if your voice isn't what it used to be, don't worry about it!  Just join in!

New Hope Abundance Arrives Today

Above is a picture of what the hallway outside of the community looks like while residents gather for the New Hope Ministries Abundance distribution.  The New Hope Abundance is serving an average of 80 residents per week!  We have a lot to be grateful for here at Mallard Run Apartments!

Generally, we begin distribution  2:15-2:30.  Please bring your own grocery bag to the Abundance Distribution. 

Fresh Express Delivers Nutritional Variety

The Fresh Express team did a fantastic job sorting and filling grocery bags for residents on Tuesday, March 12, 2013.  Above you see Shirley's smiling face as she leaves the community room with her items!

Here are the items we received from Fresh Express this month:  Pretzels, granola bars, spinach, baby spring mix salad, potatoes, canned carrots, spaghetti sauce, juice fusions, bread and sweets.  We are loving our partnership with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank!  Even more, we love that our residents have access to fresh and tasty foods!

Fresh Express will return on Tuesday, April 9, 2013.  If you have not signed up for this program, please see the Social Services Coordinator before April 8th.

Volunteers Make It Happen!


We can't say enough good things about our exceptional resident volunteers here at Mallard Run Apartments!  The group pictured above works diligently each Thursday to unload the New Hope Ministries truck, bring the boxes into the building, unpack items from boxes, and set the tables for product distribution.  You wouldn't believe how efficiently they do their work!  Thank you to Dolly, Jean, Judy, Susan, both Paul K.'s, and Sal.  Your work is very much appreciated!
