Welcoming and assisting our newest families from PR

The School District of Lancaster continues to support families from Puerto Rico who are relocating to Lancaster as a result of the recent earthquakes. The district is collecting the following NEW items for these families in need: Shampoo/conditioner, soap, lotion, socks and underwear, laundry detergent, diapers, wipes, towels/wash cloths, winter coats/accessories, back packs for all ages, school supplies, gift cards (Grocery Stores, Walmart), and RRTA bus passes. At this time, we can only accept NEW items noted above. The School District of Lancaster is unable to accept used clothing, however new uniforms will be accepted.

Please donate any gently used items such as coats, regular clothing, and household items/furniture to the San Juan Bautista Thrift Store located at 441 South Lime Street. The Families in Transition Program works collaboratively with this organization and will directly refer families to them.
