Thanksgiving is just two weeks away. This is the perfect time of year to make a donation to the local food bank!

Now more than ever, our neighbors need our help to put food on the table. Your contribution will help make someone’s life a little easier. Whether you can donate funds or food, every gift makes a difference.

One neighborhood place to donate is Whitehall-Coplay Hunger Initiative (whitehallcoplayhungerinitiative.org). There are many others in our area also in need of donations.
