Huge thanks to Auto Repair by Mike, LLC for donating these shirts to the pantry staff! We do a lot of community outreach and it's amazing to look like a cohesive team! ❤️ Here's a photo from our board meeting tonight!

Big day at the pantry! A few months ago, we posted about some equipment upgrades we needed to make. Brock Parker and Jessica Devery Parker stepped up and made a super generous donation. Today, with the help of Chuck Shermer and David Gross, we were able to install and implement a new volunteer management system.

Before today, we were tracking volunteers on a paper desk calendar hung on a bulletin board. If you wanted to sign up for a shift, you had to come into the pantry to do it. If you needed to cancel an existing shift, you had to call a shift supervisor or the volunteer coordinator. And when you came in to volunteer, you had to sign in and out in a binder.

Now, all of that happens electronically! This is such a huge upgrade for us and we're all so thankful to everyone who helped make it possible!

🙌 Huge thanks to Rick at Premier Signs & Graphics for helping out the pantry!

We're heading into food drive season, when lots of local businesses host collection boxes for us, and those boxes always need some kind of sign. We've usually just printed them, but we were looking for something more sustainable we could reuse year after year. We told Rick what we needed, and he generously offered to donate these awesome signs to us!

They're perfect for identifying the donation containers, whether it's a box, a shopping cart, or something else. Thank you, Rick, for supporting your neighbors in need! 💚

As our Food Drive Coordinator, Melissa is the one who turns boxes of donated cans into full shelves for our neighbors. She lines up the drives, handles the logistics, and makes sure every single donation gets where it needs to go!

And the timing is perfect because 🍂 food drive season is here!

If your school, business, church, scout troop, or group would like to host a food drive this fall or holiday season, we'd be so appreciative. Just email us at [email protected] to get started!

Thank you, Melissa, and thank you to everyone who gives their time, food, and heart to this pantry. 🧡

It's been a while since we talked about stats related to food assistance, and since it's been in the news, here is a clear, factual look at what is changing and what it means for food pantries like ours. (sources are linked in the comments!)

▸ SNAP: A federal law passed in 2025 added new work requirements, more paperwork, and new eligibility limits. In Pennsylvania, SNAP enrollment fell 11%. The state estimates about 98,000 of those losses come directly from the new rules. Nearly 6 in 10 SNAP recipients are children or older adults.

It’s worth pointing out that USDA's Economic Research Service found that $1 in SNAP benefits generates about $1.50 in economic activity. That spending supports grocery stores, food producers, farmers, and jobs.

▸ WIC: WIC serves pregnant and postpartum moms, nursing mothers, and children under 5. A proposal in the current federal budget would drastically reduce the fruit and vegetable benefit families receive:

· Children: $26 down to $10 per month
· Pregnant and postpartum: about $48 down to $13
· Breastfeeding: $52 down to $13
· This would affect roughly 143,000 participants in Pennsylvania.

▸ What this means for food pantries. Food pantries cannot absorb these losses. Nationally, SNAP provides about nine meals for every one meal that we can provide. At the same time, federal food deliveries to Pennsylvania food banks fell about 54 percent between 2024 and 2026. Demand is rising while the supply of food is shrinking. Statewide, food insecurity is up 44 percent since 2021, and 1 in 5 Pennsylvania children now live in a food-insecure home.

▸ What this means for Quakertown. We serve 20 to 60 families a day, we are seeing more first-time visitors, our state and federal food shipments have been delayed, and our costs have risen while donations have gotten harder to come by. When benefits fall or paperwork pushes a family off the rolls, they come see us.
