McVeytown Fresh Express! Feeding Those In Need!

 The other day myself and Chad decided to go for a little walk around McVeytown and we ended up walking our normal route. But this time was a little different, as we arrived at the library where we usually begin our walk.

However, we noticed that there were plenty of people directing traffic, which is rare in our small town. Curious, Chad and I started our walk and realized that there was something going on at the United Methodist Church.

We took a lap around the town before deciding to go and investigate. Turns out, there was a special event going on at the church and it was called Fresh Express.

Fresh Express is a non-profit that bring food to those in need. They had a wide variety of different foods, strawberries, veggies among many others.

According to the people who were working there, all you have to do is sign up and come through the drive-thru where volunteers are standing by to hand over some free food.

It is an interesting concept and I think it is really amazing to see people come together and do some good. Honestly, I don't think we hear or see anything like that in today's world. I wish news like this would happen more often.

They usually do this once a month and their next event will also be at the United Methodist Church in February 26 from 2-4 p.m.

For more information, you can contact them at 717-899-0205 also at mcveytownfreshexpress@gmail.com. You can also visit their facebook.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

 Recently, I had found out that a family friend of ours named Nick Dickson had a stroke and people have been doing what they can to support him and his family. Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
