I want to acknowledge the numerous financial and food donors who helped Whitehall-Coplay Hunger Initiative feed so many people at our food pantry in 2025. I am not listing the many residents who support WCHI since I did not ask their permission to put their names in the newspaper.

WCHI, our pantry guests and I thank all of these groups. I tried very hard to record and mention every donor. I apologize if I omitted anyone unintentionally.

Without all of you and our wonderful volunteers, WCHI could never fulfill our mission to alleviate food insecurity in Whitehall and Coplay. Thank you all!
