This event is hosted by the Cumberland Valley Rails-to-Trails Council with proceeds benefiting the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail & Shippensburg Produce Outreach.
CVRTC is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable corporation dedicated to conservation, historic preservation, recreation and alternative transportation in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania through the development of multi-use trails along former railroad corridors and other areas. CVRTC owns and maintains the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail that runs 13 miles from Shippensburg to noth west of Newville and is working on extending the trail to Carlisle and south of Shippensburg.
Shippensburg Produce Outreach (SPO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization and has grown to serve over 1500 families per month with our drive-in distribution program in addition to site deliveries to nearly 80 other residents. Our mission is to continue to meet the needs of the Shippensburg community as the cost of fresh produce continues to rise. We have developed partnerships with local agencies such as the Central PA Food Bank, Aldi of Shippensburg, Walmart, Weis, Giant, SU Farm, the Gleaning Project of South-Central PA and area farmers so that we can accept donations of excess harvest, glean fields after harvest and purchase additional produce as needed.
