The Allentown Area Ecumenical Food Bank exists solely to provide relief to those who are food insecure in Lehigh County through the support of foundations, local congregations, businesses, organizations, and individuals.
Cold nights in Allentown mean more of our unhoused neighbors are turning to the Food Bank for support.
Items like these are especially helpful to those living in tents, cars, or hotels:
🔹Hormel Compleats meals
🔹Hearty canned soups
🔹Canned ravioli and other ready-to-eat meals
Please consider donating these to the Food Bank. Small acts of generosity help ensure that our neighbors have something warm and nourishing on colder days.

Important information!Did you know? SNAP applicants and recipients must now provide verification of shelter costs and utility responsibility. Applicants and recipients must provide proof of these costs at application and at renewal if they are not already on file with PA DHS. SNAP households will need to submit new documentation if they move to a different residence.
Previously, SNAP recipients only needed to report their shelter costs and utility responsibility to the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services but did not need to provide supporting documentation.
Not providing shelter/utility cost verifications will not cause benefits to close or an application to be rejected. However, SNAP households that do not provide verification of shelter and utility costs will have their SNAP benefits evaluated without the shelter and utility deductions. This could result in a decrease in SNAP benefits.

Our daily food pantry is open Monday - Friday from 9am -12pm and again on Thursdays from 3:30pm 6 pm. Visit AllentownFoodBank.org for more info. ... See MoreSee Less
