How We Work

Food for the Nazareth Area Food Bank comes from donations of non-perishable food items from individuals, area churches, schools, businesses and Scouting organizations, with the remainder bought with monetary donations from individuals, members of many churches in the Nazareth Area, local businesses, service clubs and other organizations.

Once a month — on the second Tuesday and following Wednesdays and Saturday each month – our clients receive a set of two grocery bags containing the items described above.  We try to make sure that each set of groceries is nearly identical, which means we think in counts of at least 240 of each item we provide.

Our food bank is run entirely by volunteers on donations from the community, so the need remains great.
