In accordance with the Lancaster Inter-Municipal Committee Trick-or-Treat Policy, Manheim Township recommends Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. as the community’s Trick-or-Treat Night, rain or shine.

Because Trick-or-Treat Night is not established or regulated by municipal ordinance, this is simply a community recommendation.

Residents, neighborhoods and organizations are welcome to hold Trick-or-Treat activities on other dates or at other times for any reason, including in response to inclement weather.

This morning, members of Manheim Township Fire Rescue joined our community at the Manheim Township 9/11 Memorial to honor the 2,977 lives lost on 9/11/01 — including the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and other first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice while running toward danger to help others.

Their courage continues to define what it means to serve. Their sacrifice continues to remind us of the responsibility we carry every day when we put on the uniform.

We remember their names.
We honor their service.
We carry their legacy forward.

The Manheim Township 9/11 Memorial, located behind the Manheim Township Public Library, remains open to the community. We encourage everyone to visit and take a moment to remember.

Tomorrow morning, we're teaming up with Manheim Township Police to host a brief ceremony that will honor the victims, first responders, and all those whose lives were forever changed on September 11th, 2001.

We will never forget.

🚒⚾ Lancaster Stormers Recognize MTFR Firefighter Ryan Gardill! ⚾🚒

The Lancaster Stormers recognized Firefighter Ryan Gardill during their First Responders Appreciation Game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on Thursday night.

MTFR Chief Scott Little stated, “Ryan brings an outstanding blend of military experience and fire service leadership to MTFR that allows others on staff to work harder and be better.”

Ryan has taken on numerous leadership roles focused on improving the lives, health, and safety of firefighters throughout South Central Pennsylvania. He serves as a Lead Peer Support Mentor and has taken a leadership role with the Manheim Township Firefighters Association, where his efforts have helped strengthen firefighter health and safety standards through initiatives such as annual physicals and cancer screenings.

Ryan’s dedication to his fellow firefighters and the community exemplifies the very best of the fire service. Way to go, Ryan!

And a huge thank you to the Lancaster Stormers for recognizing and celebrating the first responders who serve our communities every day! 🇺🇸
