NON-RESIDENTS OF THE NAZARETH AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT:

We regret that at the present time the Nazareth Area Food Bank must limit our efforts to serve those who live in the areas we serve by definition (residents of Nazareth, Stockertown and Tatamy boroughs and the townships of Bushkill, Lower Nazareth and Upper Nazareth). We have listed a few resources that may be of assistance. Thank you for your understanding.
