We love Pieri Farm and our clients enjoyed the greens, radishes, peppers, and garlic! We offered more produce than ever this past summer and fall thanks to the farmers in the LFPA program!
Thanks also to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and their Local Food Purchase Agreement brought to us through Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania.

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.
