The American Water Charitable Foundation recently partnered with Hershey-based Pennsylvania American Water to present a $25,000 State Strategic Impact Grant to York City Parks Conservancy. Funds will be used for improvements to Williams Park. 

Mechanicsburg-based West Shore Home donated $10,000 to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. The donation caps off the company’s toy drive where employees corporate-wide donated over 3,250 toys. 

Millersburg-based Mid Penn Bank and the Penn State Health Department of Urology recently completed their seventh annual “No Shave November” campaign and raised $241,000 for the Division of Urology at Penn State Health. Since its inception, the campaign has contributed more than $622,000 in support of prostate cancer research. 

On Dec. 19, Mid Penn employees volunteered at the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and presented the organization with a $25,000 grant through the state’s Neighborhood Assistance Program. 

With a matching donation, Lebanon-based APR Supply Co. raised just under $15,000 for the “No Shave November” campaign. APR Supply Co.’s young leaders also collected $2,100 for Homes For Our Troops, a nonprofit that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 veterans. 

Camp Hill-based LeTort Trust wrapped up a year-long celebration of its 20th anniversary by completing a 20 Acts of Kindness initiative. Among the projects were a food and coat drive for Capital Area Head Start; a blood drive for Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank with McConkey Insurance & Benefits; and a financial literacy project with pre-k and kindergarten students at the Joshua Group.
