Support the 2021 Lebanon County School Supply Drive

By United Way of Lebanon County June 30, 2021


Each year, children throughout Lebanon County are starting school without the basic necessities to succeed in their education. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to help us change this for at least 200 local students. To help, visit unitedwaylebco.org/success4kids.
