Mr. Campbell purchased the Grand Champion Steer. The crossbred steer was exhibited by 18-year-old Lindsay Upperman of Franklin County. Lindsay had watched this steer since it was born and raised it up to the Grand Champion level. Mr. Campbell paid $10,500 for the 1,315 lb. steer and bought many other animals throughout the sale. Mr. Campbell, who has grown Hoss's Family Steak and Sea House restaurants to a total of 36 locations throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding states, bids on the animals to support the youth involved in the 4-H and FFA organizations. He and his wife, Nancy, attend many of the livestock sales at the county fairs throughout the year. In 2006, he set a record at the PA State Farm Show when he purchased the Grand Champion Steer for $28,500. Mr. Campbell, a former member of the FFA, looks forward to attending the auctions to support the youth and to give something back to organizations that benefit deserving individuals.

Hummelstown Hoss's Update - 09/27/11 As a result of the recent flood disaster that occurred at our location in Hummelstown, we have emptied the building of all its contents and gutted all of the damaged flooring, wall materials, insulation, etc. The building has been restored to a dry and safe condition. After meeting with our insurance carrier and both FEMA and the Small Business Administration, it is apparent that any relief that we may quality for would be very small in scope compared to the damages incurred. At this time, we have begun an exhaustive search for potential locations in the area where we can build a new Hoss’s Steak and Sea House. The decision has been made to invest all future costs in a new building and new location in the immediate area. We are considering several potential sites currently, but we are still in the early stages of the process. We have enjoyed a 19-year relationship with the employees and customers in this community, and it is our goal to soon be serving food and Hoss’pitality here again. Hummelstown Hoss's Update - 09/14/11 As a result of the recent flood disaster experienced at our Hoss's Steak and Sea House in Hummelstown, we have gutted our building completely and discarded all of its contents. We have made an application to FEMA for disaster assistance, and we are also working with the Small Business Administration in hopes to be able to someday reopen. We have also contacted local real estate companies to assist us in locating alternative locations in the area. It is our goal to some day in the "not so distant" future to be serving food and Hoss'pitality to the community that we have become a part of over the past 19 years. Hummelstown Hoss's Location Closed Due To Flooding - 09/12/11 Hoss’s Steak and Sea House in Hummelstown, PA, was flooded Thursday night, 09/08/11, as the waters of the Swatara Creek overflowed its banks. The entire property was engulfed by over six feet of water at its highpoint, including inside the building. As soon as the water receded early Saturday morning, cleanup efforts began as crew members, managers, and family members pulled together. They completely emptied the building contents, removed the carpet, boarded up windows and discarded everything. Everything in the building was ruined. Nothing significant could be salvaged. We are working closely with local officials and trying to determine next steps. We have been a part of the community for the past 19 years. We hope to be able to reopen here, or in a nearby location soon. Unfortunately, however, whatever we do will take a lot of time. The most troubling part of all of this is that we have 60 great employees whose jobs have been affected. This is devastating, but we must deal with it the best we can.

Hoss's Campaign Fights Local Hunger, One Diner's Donation at a Time Canned goods to be donated to local food banks; HARRISBURG, PA (February, 2011) – Hoss’s Steak and Sea House has long prided itself on the close relationship it shares with the communities surrounding each of its 38 restaurants. In 2011, those relationships will get even stronger with a month long campaign designed to fight hunger by partnering with local food banks and collecting donations at each Hoss’s location. Hoss's CEO Pays $10,000 For Farm Show Grand Champion Steer Steer to be donated to Central Pennsylvania Food Bank;Purchase signals start of larger Hoss’s food bank campaign in spring HARRISBURG, PA (January 11, 2011) – Hoss’s Steak and Sea House founder and CEO Bill Campbell knows good beef when he sees it. That’s one reason Campbell dished out $10,000 for the Grand Champion steer on Tuesday at the Pennsylvania Farm Show’s annual “Sale of Champions” livestock auction. The Sale of Champions marks the conclusion of the youth market livestock shows at the Farm Show. The Grand Champions and Reserve Grand Champions of the four livestock categories – beef, swine, goats, and sheep – totaled more than $25,000. This year’s Grand Champion steer was shown by Paige Stahl of Somerset County. Campbell will donate the steer to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. It is not the first time Hoss’s has donated its prized purchase to a food bank, but it does signal the start of a much larger donation campaign for the restaurant. Hoss’s has strong ties to the local communities where its 38 restaurants are located, and those ties play a key role in an upcoming Hoss’s campaign set to launch in the spring. The campaign will focus on fighting hunger in Pennsylvania’s communities by partnering with local food banks and collecting donations in each Hoss’s location. “Participating in the Farm Show Sale of Champions auction is a tradition for Hoss’s, but an even longer-standing tradition is our outreach to local communities,” said Campbell. “This donation is the first of what should be many more donations we make to food banks across the state this year.” Proceeds from the Sale of Champions are used to fund the Farm Show Scholarship Program. Campbell, a former member of Future Farmers of America (FFA), was one of the individuals instrumental in creating the scholarship program in 1993. Hoss’s Steak and Sea House was founded in central Pennsylvania in 1983 and today includes 38 Hoss’s locations in Pennsylvania and two in West Virginia. Seeking to fill the gap between fast food and full-service restaurants, Hoss's specializes in cooked-to-order steaks, chicken, and seafood and includes its signature all-you-can-eat salad bar.

The Hoss’s Community Day was held in conjunction with twenty-four (24) Hoss’s locations throughout central Pennsylvania and was very successful! Mission Central’s Development Director, Norma Bigham, worked with Hoss’s Marketing Assistant, Angel Horon, and their Director of Sales, Bridget Bingham, to develop promotional initiatives.
“Events like this are such a win/win for us and the fundraising organization. We are delighted to have the extra traffic and the group is thrilled to have the extra cash,” said Bob Pleva, Hoss’s Executive Vice President. “We have had other groups attempt multi-location events in the past, but never to this level of success. Norma and her team took this event very seriously and did a great job coordinating communication within their group, as well as with each Hoss’s location. This type of success is not by accident. It was a pleasure to serve this group,” said Bridget Bingham. “We are grateful to the tremendous support of our church congregations as well as local ecumenical churches who advertised our event,” added Kathy Briner, Deputy Director of Mission Central. “It was a great day to meet with church associates as well as family and friends with an indoor picnic atmosphere. We enjoyed a wonderful meal and fellowship.” George Sackandy, President of Mission Central’s Board of Managers, expressed his appreciation on behalf of the Board to the Hoss’s family for making this opportunity possible. “Hoss’s Steak and Sea House has a well deserved legacy of being philanthropic leaders in the communities that they serve,” said Sackandy. “Mission Central is thrilled that we were chosen to be one of those organizations to benefit from their incredible generosity. Hoss’s Founders, Bill and Nancy Campbell, have set the standard that all corporations could use to demonstrate their appreciation for their customers loyalty by “paying forward” and returning a portion of their operating revenues to non profits that improve the quality of life in their communities." Norma Bigham contacted managers of the selected Hoss’s restaurants, as well as churches within the direct vicinity where Hoss’s Community Day would be held. Seventeen of the twenty-four restaurants qualified for contributing revenues to Mission Central. Over 50,000 tickets were distributed through local and regional efforts with additional support by Mission Central’s Board of Managers. Mission Central is affiliated with The Susquehanna Conference of The United Methodist Church and is supported through various venues from 900-plus church congregations throughout central Pennsylvania in addition to Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Pocono Mountain districts. Over 3700 volunteers provide assistance in preparation for disaster relief and disaster response. Mission Central also provides mission education, special programs such as Arms Around Africa, Missions Near and Far, and Marketplace in Ministry. The next Marketplace in Ministry, an annual fair held on location at Mission Central, will be Saturday, October 2, 2010. More information is available on the web site at www.missioncentral.org.
