Wrapping for a Cause: Join Schlouch Inc. Friday!
The holiday season is officially upon us. While the decorations and music set the mood, the true spirit of the season is found in giving back to our neighbors. At Schlouch Incorporated, we believe in extending our support beyond the job site and into the hearts of our community.
This Friday, we are transforming our Café into a workshop of joy, and we need your help to make it happen. We are hosting a Wrapping Party to prepare gifts for local students who need a little extra holiday cheer this year. It is a wonderful opportunity to take a brief break from your daily tasks, connect with colleagues, and make a tangible difference in the lives of children.
The Event: When and Where to Join
Mark your calendars and bring your holiday spirit. We will be gathering to wrap presents, share some laughs, and get everything ready for delivery.
- Date: This Friday, December 5th
- Time: 12:30 PM
- Location: The Café at the Main Office (132 Excelsior Drive, Blandon PA 19510)
Who We Are Helping
This year, our efforts are dedicated to the students at Brigadier General Anna May Hays Elementary School in Allentown, PA. Specifically, we are sponsoring 24 students who will receive these gifts.
It is important to understand why we chose this specific school. Anna May Hays Elementary is a Title 1 school. This classification is part of the largest federal aid program for U.S. public schools, designed to provide funding to districts with high percentages of low-income families to help at-risk students meet academic standards.
To put the need into perspective, the average district rate for low-income students is around 19%. At Anna May Hays Elementary, that number sits at 67.7%. These statistics represent real families and children who often go without, especially during the holidays. By coming together this Friday, we can help ensure these 24 students experience the excitement and happiness that every child deserves.
Responding to the Needs of People
At Schlouch Incorporated, our mission goes beyond site design and construction. We are founded on the premise that we are in business to respond to the needs of people. This includes developing healthy relationships not only with our customers and vendors but with our communities at large.
Our company culture is built on being supportive and friendly. Events like our Wrapping Party allow us to live out those values. We encourage our team members to look outward and find ways to contribute to the success and well-being of others. When we pool our individual talents and energy for a cause like this, we strengthen the “cohesive team” that makes Schlouch such a unique place to work.
Delivery Day
Once the paper is cut and the bows are tied, the real magic happens. We will be personally delivering these presents to the school the following week.
- Delivery Date: Friday, December 12, 2025
- Time: 9:30 AM
- Location: Brigadier General Anna May Hays Elementary School (1227-1243 W Gordon Street, Allentown PA 18103)
How You Can Get Involved
We invite everyone to stop by the Café this Friday at 12:30 PM. Whether you are an expert wrapper with professional-level corners or someone who struggles with the tape, your presence is welcome. Many hands make light work, and the camaraderie is just as important as the wrapping itself.
If you cannot attend the party but still wish to contribute, please reach out to the office to see how you can support the donation drive for these 24 wonderful students.
Let’s come together to demonstrate the generosity and community spirit that defines Schlouch Incorporated. We look forward to seeing you there!
