Why Give?
When you give, you provide more than hunger relief:
- You make it possible for struggling individuals and families to afford other basic necessities like housing, medicine, and utilities.
- You enable the State College Food Bank to share its resources throughout the county, making it easier for residents in surrounding areas to get help.
- You give neighbors in need access to more fresh, nutritious food in a welcoming, dignified atmosphere.
Every gift makes a difference.
There are three ways to give, and each option has its own important impact.
- Financial Gifts, which are critical to helping the Food Bank meet specific goals
- Food Donations, which are checked for expiration dates then placed on our shelves or shared with another resource in Centre County
- Non-Food Donations, which help the Food Bank serve clients and support our facility and operations
