Lower Macungie is seeking soldier’s names from anywhere in the East Penn School District who are serving in the military.

If you have a friend or loved one serving please call the Community Center Monday through Friday between 8am–4:30pm at 610-966-6924 to register them for our Holiday Troop Support Program. We will need their name, address (with APO or FPO). We will collect donated items at the Community Center and disperse them to the individuals to share with their Troop.

This is the 13th year of the program! Altogether, we have shipped a total of 1,244 boxes to 138 soldiers – thanks to our residents’ generous donations! The Township sponsors this event by paying the shipping charges for all packages sent out.

In addition to seeking soldiers to send care packages to, we also are in need of donations including the following NEW items:
