Newly Crowned Miss Pennsylvania to Host Ice Cream Social at Hoffman Homes

Littlestown, PA – Hoffman Homes is delighted to welcome the newly crowned Miss Pennsylvania to campus on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. for a special ice cream social designed to create smiles and lasting memories for the children and adolescents served through Hoffman Homes programs.

The event will provide residents with the opportunity to meet Miss Pennsylvania, enjoy sweet treats, and experience a meaningful afternoon of connection and celebration. Adams County National Bank (ACNB Bank) will generously provide the ice cream and assist Miss Pennsylvania as she serves the treats to the youth in attendance.

The children and adolescents served by Hoffman Homes have often experienced significant adversity, including trauma, abuse, neglect, mental health challenges, and family instability. Many arrive on campus searching for hope, healing, and the opportunity to build brighter futures. Through compassionate care, therapeutic support, education, and individualized treatment, Hoffman Homes strives to empower these young people to discover their strengths and realize their potential.

Adding an extra touch of magic to the afternoon, the Pennsylvania Jewelers Association, custodians of the Official Crown of Pennsylvania, will present the prestigious heirloom crown for Miss Pennsylvania to wear during the event. While titleholders traditionally wear their official tiaras throughout their year of service, the treasured heirloom crown is reserved for only 
the most distinguished occasions. Hoffman Homes is truly honored to be included among these meaningful and memorable moments.

"This event is about so much more than ice cream," said Janise Bankard, Vice President of Marketing and Development at Hoffman Homes. "It is an opportunity for our youth to experience joy, feel celebrated, and be reminded that their community believes in them. We are deeply grateful to Miss Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania Jewelers Association, and the Adams County National Bank for helping us create a truly unforgettable afternoon."

Hoffman Homes extends its sincere appreciation to all of the community partners involved in making this special visit possible. Their generosity and commitment to supporting the well-being of Pennsylvania's youth continue to make a lasting impact.
