The Central PA Food Bank and Grace Lutheran’s Anti-Hunger Team distribute food in the parking lot at Grace Lutheran (205 South Garner Street, State College) on the second and fourth Thursdays each month. There are a variety of tasks and you and join other volunteers there between 1:30 pm when the food arrives and and 6 pm when the distribution wraps up. Volunteers help with setup, pre-packing food items, check-in, or putting food into cars. You can choose what works best for you! And volunteer for any amount of time!
Upcoming dates: October 10 and 24 – November dates TBA.
These distributions are held near the ramp entrance at Grace Lutheran Church, 205 South Garner Street in State College. This drive through distribution and accommodate walk-ups, too!
