Sneakers, Scholastic Aid, and Santa: Supporting Lancaster’s Kids Host: Dale Johnson Guest: Cori Steiner Description: The focus of the podcast is the Willow Valley Community Outreach Program, which was established in 1998 to assist children in need in the greater Lancaster community. They discuss three main annual initiatives: a cornhole tournament supporting high school seniors' post-graduation plans, a "Sneakers for School" project providing new shoes, and a holiday gift-giving program, including an annual event at Dutch Wonderland. The podcast highlights the impact of resident and team member involvement in these programs through volunteering, donations, and providing support, with a strong emphasis on the intergenerational connections fostered and the significant accomplishments over the years.
