What We Do

About Us  |  Who We Are  |  What We Do  |  Where We Are

We have served the citizens of the Boroughs of Middletown and Royalton; the Townships of Lower Swatara, Londonderry, and Conewago since 1917, the year of our first Charter. We provide  food, clothing and shelter for those people involved in a disaster     such as fire  or flood. We teach life saving skills such as CPR, First Aid, and how   to use an Automated External Defibrillator.  We    work with the Middletown Interfaith Council to aid those in need    with heating, fuel, clothing and prescriptions.
