Food Pantry
Working with the Central PA Food Bank, Salem Lutheran Church located at 138 E. Plum Street in Aaronsburg has created a permanent food pantry in their church building. Distribution takes place once a month on the 3rd Monday of the month. Distribution times are usually posted the Thursday or Friday before the distribution date. For more detailed information, go to Salem’s Facebook page.
The specific donation request for November 2024 distribution is instant potatoes.
Changes in Salem’s food distribution are due to changes in governmental requirements for the program. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank works with the PA Department of Agriculture to provide BONUS food items in food distributions through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). To receive the BONUS food items you will need to fill out a “Self Declaration of Need.” The self-declaration only needs to be filled out once a year. Forms can be found on the website for Central PA Food Bank.
The Central PA Food Bank requires ALL recipients to “sign in” at distribution. This enables Salem to accurately provide statistics to the Central PA Food Bank, as well as confirm all who are eligible for TEFAP. If you would like further information, leave a voicemail at the church phone number (814) 349-5961 or email [email protected].
