As cold weather approaches, many in Lebanon County will struggle to keep themselves and their families warm during the winter season. Please help us ensure that everyone has the cold-weather basics by donating new or gently worn hats, scarves, gloves, and mittens for adults and children to the United Way of Lebanon County’s LIVE WARM collection.
Participating is easy! Collect items at your office, your church, your organization or your home and give the United Way a call at 717-273-8144, and they will arrange a pick-up date, or you can drop items off at the United Way of Lebanon County office any weekday between 9:00a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The office is located at 801 Cumberland Street in Lebanon (second floor of the Wells Fargo building).
The LIVE WARM collection will continue until Dec. 15 when items will be distributed to local shelters, such as the Agape Family Shelter, the Lebanon Rescue Mission and the Domestic Violence Intervention Shelter, as well as Lebanon County Christian Ministries, the food and clothing bank, among other locations.
Royer's "Bouquets for Books"
Royer’s Flowers and Gifts’ annual children’s book drive – “Bouquets for Books” – will return Nov. 1-9. The books will benefit public libraries in Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and York counties. Royer’s has stores in each of the counties. Books donated at the Lebanon and Palmyra Royer's stores will go to Lebanon County libraries.
For each book, donors will receive a free bouquet, up to three per family per visit, while supplies last. Used books will not be accepted.
