Safe Meet-Up Zones
Safe Meet-Up Zones (Lancaster County)
These locations are public, well-lit, and typically monitored by camera. They’re designed to help neighbors coordinate safe pickups and drop-offs for community support and online transactions.
Important: Lanco Cares is a connection platform. We do not supervise meetups. Always use your best judgment.
