Over the past couple of weeks, the police officers and employees of the East Lampeter Township Police Department have been the recipient of numerous gifts:  a Thursday pizza lunch surprise from a local business; colorful cards with ultra-cool stickers from a family; baskets of fruit from a prayer group; breakfast casserole and spaghetti from Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services, and cookies and treats from "One Kind Cookie". Your thoughtfulness is heartwarming and appreciated by each member of your police department.  Everyone wants to feel valued and we certainly do!  It is a privilege to wear this badge of honor and serve our community, one call at a time.  Please accept our thanks to each of you for your continued support and be sure to say hello when you see us!

• In 2019, the organization became an official non-profit, “One Kind Cookie”
