LHES is collecting items and donations to send to our brave soldiers serving overseas.

Dear Lincoln Heights Families,

As the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded of the importance of community, gratitude, and giving. This year, we’re organizing a special donation drive to support our brave soldiers serving overseas who won’t be home for the holidays.

We’re collecting items and donations to send care packages filled with comfort, cheer, and appreciation. Whether it’s snacks, toiletries, handwritten cards, or small gifts, every contribution helps remind our troops that they’re not forgotten. 

Thank you in advance,

Ms. Bailey and Ms. Pritchett
