This is the time of year when we pause to reflect on the many things in our lives for which we are grateful. It's also an ideal time to consider ways we can make a positive impact in our community.

This year, we have the pleasure of collaborating with the Redbank Valley Church Association Food Pantry. To help, our office is collecting non perishable items like boxed scalloped potatoes, canned yams or sweet potatoes, cake mixes, canned Italian dinners (ravioli/spaghetti), and baked beans. You can drop off donations now through December 4th from 8:00 am to 4:30pm M-F at our branch, which is located at 417 Arch Street, Ste 1, New Bethlehem, PA 16242.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please call us at 814-226-6052.

Thank you for your support, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Donating is a personal decision and completely voluntary.
Edward Jones and its associates cannot accept monetary donations, including gift cards.

🐄 Walter the Steer Helped Feed Our Community 🙌❤️

St. Mary’s Redbank Church and the Shuster Family generously purchased Walter the Steer 🐮 from the Clarion County Fair 4-H Auction and donated him to bless our community.

Raised with care by Bailey (Snyder) Rankin, along with her parents Beau & Jess Snyder, Walter’s meat was distributed to the Redbank Valley Food Pantry, New Bethlehem First Fellowship Church, Oak Ridge Community Church, New Salem Pierce Church, and the Just for Jesus Homeless Shelter in Brockway.

We’re incredibly grateful to Tom’s Riverside and manager Joe Matis for serving as the central hub, Brad Bowser of MPS Pro Services for assisting with distribution, and the Southern Clarion County Regional Police Department, especially Chief Robert Malnofsky and Police Secretary Debra Schrecengost, for helping deliver to those in need.
