WE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY 2/17/25
In honor of Presidents’ Day, we thought it would be fun to reflect on some lesser-known facts about past U.S. presidents. From Abraham Lincoln’s wrestling prowess to Calvin Coolidge’s fondness for raccoons, history holds many surprises beyond the politics, check out more below.
We will reopen on Tuesday, February 18 at 9am.
Enjoy the weekend!
We are thrilled to announce that the Senior Assist Network has generously awarded us a grant! 🎉 This amazing support allows us to expand operations and grow our Elderly Food Program (EFP), reaching even more homebound seniors in Senior Housing Buildings across Lehigh County. Thank you, Senior Assist Network, for helping us make a real difference in our community! 💙 #seniorassistnetwork #seniorliving #allentownhousing
Due to the ice storm, the Food Bank will be closed Thursday morning. ❄️ Your safety is our priority! We'll keep you updated and appreciate your understanding. Stay warm and safe.
We hope to open at 3:30pm - check back during the day for an update.
