We at Ruth's Harvest-Fairfield are deeply saddened to share that one of our founding members has passed. Roger Semplak was instrumental in the success and daily operations of our organization. He was in charge of the storage pantry organization and inventory, keeping us informed of what was needed for future packings. He was our liaison with the Central PA Food Bank, deliverer of collected food items from various places to the pantry, and an all-around advocate for feeding children in need. He will be deeply missed. Our hearts are with his wife, Linn, and his sweet dogs. https://www.monahanfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Roger-Allan-Semplak?obId=46488321

We recently had two wonderful groups assist us with filling the bags to deliver to the Fairfield schools. We couldn't do it without our volunteers! Thanks so much!
