For over 33 years Saint Paul's has been feeding people. We began with a daily hot lunch program which over time developed into a food bank that currently provides sufficient food for individuals and families to last 7- 10 days. Screening takes place each Monday from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. at Saint Paul's. Food is distributed to those with food vouchers on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. We have volunteers from many religious denominations and food and monetary donations are received from churches, social and fraternal organizations, schools, businesses and individuals. Our service area includes the Boroughs of Columbia and Mountville and the townships of Manor and West
Hempfield. Between January 1 and December 31, 2011 the Saint Paul food bank fed 1,726 individuals which represents 928 families. Approved individuals and families can use the food bank once a month.
The Food Bank is open for screening each Monday from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Food is picked up by those who are eligible on Tuesday or Wednesday from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.
