MDS is part of ExtraGive 2026!

Each November, Lancaster County does something remarkable. On the Friday before Thanksgiving, neighbors, businesses, and congregations pour their generosity into one 24-hour celebration of giving: the Lancaster County Community Foundation’s ExtraGive. This year, it lands on Friday, November 20, 2026.

Since the first ExtraGive in 2012, 40,000 donors have raised over $120 million for more than 500 organizations. Donations per capita in Lancaster County are among the most generous in the nation.

At MDS we know that every contribution is as important as the next, and we are unable to serve communities impacted by disaster without all of those people who support our mission. Your ExtraGive gift helps make that possible, equipping volunteers, supporting project sites, and keeping our response ready for the next call.

Lancaster County has always known how to give. ExtraGive is the day we do it together, and it is the day your gift can help a family come home again.

So save the date: Friday, November 20, 2026. Mark your calendar, tell a friend, and consider supporting MDS during Lancaster County’s largest day of giving.
