Proverbs 3:5-6
Centre Hall-Potter Food Pantry Grace is blessed to host the Centre Hall/Potter Food Pantry. A small group of volunteers established the ministry in 1983 and has provided food to families 11 months out of the year ever since. Food scarcity has grown which means the need for volunteers grows, too. Volunteers arrive the morning of the third Tuesday of the month (except for August) to package the food to that qualifying families will pick up between 1:30 - 3 pm.
Donations are accepted throughout the month via marked boxes at the church. Non-perishables like soup, cereal, pasta, canned vegetables, bread and more are appreciated. Fresh produce, when available, is also needed. Families living in Centre Hall or Potter Township who need food are encouraged to call the coordinator at 814-364-1675 for more information. If you are willing to help with the effort, use the same number to volunteer.
