Dear Parents/Guardians,

We would like to extend an opportunity for your child to participate in a program sponsored by the churches of Gettysburg, Gettysburg Area School District, and several other community organizations called Ruth’s Harvest. The program will start at the end of September for the 2026-2027 school year.

The Ruth’s Harvest program provides your child with a bag of nutritious food and snacks for the weekend. If you elect to participate in this program, your child will pick up a bag each week at the end of the day on Thursday or Friday in the main office during dismissal. Please know that both the school and the organizations involved with this program will take every precaution to ensure that the identity of the students participating in the program will remain confidential.

If you would like to take part in the program, please complete and submit the form here: Ruth's Harvest Program. If you choose to cancel your participation at any point, please contact our office at 717-334-6254 Option 3.

Yours in education,
