Manheim Pennsylvania’s six weeks of charitable endeavors in its local Lancaster County continues throughout the month of December with a focus on several charities.

The events rolled out in November with the company’s Veteran’s Day celebrations, where 2,000 flags were installed around its more-than-400-acre facility in honor of Lancaster County veterans, along with donations topping $2,500 to go to Wreaths Across America and Vet21Salute, a local military honor guard.

“Manheim Pennsylvania has been a valuable part of Lancaster County for nearly 70 years,” said Julie Picard, Manheim Pennsylvania’s vice president and general manager. “For many years our employees and customers have helped support our veterans and local organizations that help so many families during the holidays.”

Manheim’s involvement with Wreaths Across America will continue on Dec. 13 when the auction participates in the organizations wreath-laying ceremony at Ford Indiantown Gap Cemetery in Annville, Pa., where auction employees and customers alike will provide 100 wreaths to be laid at graves of 100 veterans.

The company’s dedication to veterans has been a stalwart attribute for Manheim: for the past three years, Manheim Pennsylvania and its employees have raised more than $180,000 in support of several veterans’ organizations, such as Keystone Wounded Warriors and the Wounded Warrior Project.

Manheim Pennsylvania’s contributions also extend to others in need, including organizations such as Toys for Tots and the Manheim Central Food Pantry.

“We are so pleased to partner with Manheim Pennsylvania and its employees,” said Carol Sumner, Manheim Central Food Pantry’s coordinator. “Our food pantry counts on the financial support and donations of area businesses and individuals. The generosity of many helps us to provide food to needy families or individuals residing in the Manheim Central School District.”

The company serves as a collection location for Toys for Tots, where it will be taking in toy donations until Dec. 12 and monetary donations through Dec. 23. Manheim also hosted a successful food drive at the end of November; those interested in making a donation to their local food pantry can do so here.
