We are proud to work with local retail outlets to prevent food waste while providing more food for our clients. Thanks to: #aldi #target #giantfoodstores #wegmans #groceryoutlet #biglots #costco #FeedingPA #feedingamericaToday is Stop Food Waste Day, the largest single day of action in the fight against food waste! 🌍
Did you know that 38% of the food in the U.S. is wasted each year? This discarded food is a major contributor to climate change and is responsible for 8% of all global carbon emissions.
By reducing food waste, we can make a difference. It not only helps the environment but also ensures that high-quality food, which would otherwise be thrown away, reaches people facing hunger.

Senior Nutrition
Posted: May 16, 2018 by AllentownFoodBank
A recent study done by the National Council for Aging Care revealed that nearly one in every six seniors in America faces the threat of hunger and not being properly nourished. This applies to those who aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from and those who don’t have access to the healthiest possible food options. The issue is severe enough that the AARP reports that seniors face a healthcare bill of more than $130 billion every year due to medical issues stemming from senior hunger.
