  We Need Your Help With Feeding The Community

  As the holiday season approaches, The Salvation Army is urgently needing assistance to replenish our food pantries with nonperishable items; the shelves are almost empty.

   The demand for assistance has tripled compared to last year, leaving many families struggling to put food on the table.

  Reasons for Crisis:

•   Additional SNAP Benefits (Government Food Assistance) through ARPA dollars for both qualified families and the Expanded Program have ended leaving families $250 – $350 less dollars in their budget for food.
•   USDA Commodities during COVID gave food pantries extensive grocery items on a monthly basis and now distribution is every two to three months and the quantity is greatly reduced.
•   The cost of food impacts families and the amount they can purchase. US Government Accountability office states, “Food cost has risen 11% percent in the last year and they are still rising”.
•    We are seeing hundreds of refugees every week that have no option for food other than the local food banks.
•   We believe that every family should have nutritional food to eat without discrimination.

  How to help:

•  You can drop off nonperishable food at the following locations:
  •  Area Command Office, 350 N. Market Street
  •  Citadel Corps, 1739 Elpyco Street
  •  West Orchard Corps, 1910 S. Everett Street
