Information about this program.
Off-duty South Londonderry Officers are stationed at the listed locations and collect donated gifts/food from the Community. In addition to needs known to the Officers, we will be working in cooperation with area Churches. We are hoping to help the community, help their neighbors. The gifts and proceeds generated from the donations will be distributed throughout the Palmyra, Annville, and Lebanon Communities. We are very pleased to say that through the communities effort and generosity, we are able to help many children and families.

Donated Toys:
Toys must be brand new and unwrapped (in their original packaging). Gift cards are also accepted. Once collected, toys will not be returned. Officers at the collection sites may turn away a toy if it is deemed unsafe or not suitable. In the event more toys are collected above and beyond what is needed, they will either be retained for future distribution or may be donated to a partner organization for distribution.
Food and Hygiene Items:
Food and Hygiene Items must be factory packaged and non-perishable. Officers at the collections sites may turn away items that do not meet criteria.

Make sure to check back to find out when and where we will be. If you wish to make a donation but cannot make it to one of the locations, you can contact the Police Department to schedule a drop off or stop at the Township Building during regular business hours. Additional drop off sites will be announced in the future. If you would like to privately donate toward a specific need, please contact us at police.slpd@gmail.com. The Officers have no desire to take away from anyone's normal giving to other places or organizations, but hope you will think about adding this to your list. Thanks in advance for your consideration in giving a gift this season and helping us to 'Fill a cruiser.'
OPERATION FILL A CRUISER 2022
Our 9th Year of “Operation Fill A Cruiser” has concluded. Officers and helpers put in over 150 volunteer hours which started in September. This year, 2022, saw increased needs in the area. The community was very generous again this year. We were able to get things where they needed to go, serving over 100 children and many adults. We again received many “Thank you” messages in return, which go back to the people and organizations who support this program. Thanks to everyone who helped us “Fill a Cruiser.”

PHOTOS FROM 2020
Our 7th Year of “Operation Fill A Cruiser” has concluded. Officers and helpers put in over 150 volunteer hours which started in September. We know 2020 has been a challenging year and the Community really came through and gave generously to this Program. This year our local citizens and businesses again helped over 100 children, mainly in Lebanon County. Each year we encounter people that can use some extra help and we are encouraged to be able to act as the facilitator, to accept items donated and deliver them where they need to go. While it seems like a small thing, to be able to provide free gifts to those who can use a boost this year, ends up meaning a lot. We receive many “Thank you” messages in return, which we wanted to pass along to those who support this Program. THANK YOU!
