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.
Pennsylvania ranks sixth in the nation for the number of food-insecure residents. This sobering statistic reminds us that neighbors facing hunger are closer than we may realize.
At Second Harvest Food Bank, a program of Community Action Lehigh Valley, we partner with more than 200 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other community organizations to help ensure families and individuals across our region have access to the nutritious food they need to thrive.
Together, we can make a difference in the fight against hunger. bit.ly/4xXux5s ... See MoreSee Less

Fresh, nutritious food is something everyone deserves access to, and we work hard to make sure our neighbors have it.
Through our client-choice pantry, the families we serve can select the foods that work best for them, including a variety of fresh produce. It's about more than filling a bag. It's about dignity, choice, and making sure people feel cared for when they walk through our doors.
If you or someone you know could use some support, we're here for you. Visit allentownfoodbank.org/how-to-get-food/ to learn more. ... See MoreSee Less

Here's a look at what your support made possible this year. 💙
Together, we served 52,216 people across Lehigh County, distributed 937,307 pounds of food, and grew our volunteer pool by 25%. Behind every one of those numbers is a neighbor, a family, and a moment that mattered.
None of this happens without the people who show up for our community, whether through donating, volunteering, or simply spreading the word. Thank you for being part of it.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Our pantry runs on a client-choice model, meaning the neighbors we serve get to shop for the foods that actually work for their family. It's a setup built on dignity and respect, and it only works because of the volunteers who make it feel that way.
Our volunteers walk alongside clients, help them navigate the pantry, and make sure the experience feels comfortable and welcoming from the moment they walk in.
We're so grateful for everyone who gives their time to make that possible. If you'd like to be part of it, we'd love to have you. Visit allentownfoodbank.org/how-to-help/#volunteer to learn more. ... See MoreSee Less

School's out, but for many kids in our community, that also means losing access to the meals they rely on during the week.
Our Summer Kids Program provides extra food support for families with children, so kids can keep getting the nutrition they need all season long. If your family could use a little extra help, we want you to know we're here.
No family should have to worry about whether there's enough food at home. If you or someone you know could use some support this summer, we're here for you. Visit allentownfoodbank.org to learn how to get started. ... See MoreSee Less

The meals on that plate represent real neighbors right here in Lehigh County.
Every number in our impact report reflects a family that came through our doors, a child who ate that week, a senior who didn't have to choose between groceries and other bills. This is what showing up for our community looks like, and none of it happens without the people who support us.
If you'd like to be part of what makes this possible, we'd love to have you with us. Follow our page to stay connected and visit allentownfoodbank.org to learn more about how you can help. ... See MoreSee Less
