As of Friday, December 18, the United Way of Lebanon County has collected 1,882 new and gently worn hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, coats, sweaters and more for adults and children through the 7th annual “LIVE WARM” Drive.  The number of items collected is a 40% increase over last year’s efforts.  

Early in the week of Monday, December 14, three volunteers from Bayer Healthcare sorted, organized and delivered a total of 1,494 clothing donations to five of United Way’s local human service agency partners: Domestic Violence Intervention, Lebanon County Christian Ministries, Lebanon Family Health Services, Salvation Army and SARCC (Sexual Assault Resource and Counseling Center).  As donations continue to arrive, a second delivery of the remaining items will take place in the days before the Christmas Holiday.  

“…thank you to the United Way for their generous donation of hats and mittens to our giving tree here at the WIC office.  We truly appreciate it as we see 3,000 clients per month!”  said a member of the WIC staff at Lebanon Family Health Services on Cumberland St.
