To help kick off the new school year on Thursday, a Lancaster County-based home remodeling company donated hundreds of bags filled with school supplies to city students.

Employees of West Shore Home in Manheim Township were on hand at Lafayette Elementary in the School District of Lancaster to hand out the school supply bags that were packed into a company truck. In total, 544 drawstring bags were handed out to students by local volunteers.

“West Shore Home is happy to help make a significant difference for students in our local communities,” said B.J.  Werzyn, owner of West Shore Home. “We want to be exceptional teammates in every aspect of what we do. Whether we are supporting our employees, or supporting our community, being exceptional teammates is at the core of what we do every day.”

Werzyn said West Shore Home’s philanthropic mission is to support various groups in the communities they serve through corporate donations, sponsorships and events.

Founded in 2006, the remodeling company now operates in Lancaster County and parts of Florida.
