🇺🇸 VALLEY FOOD PANTRY CLOSED FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11

Please note that the Valley Food Pantry will be closed tomorrow, Friday, September 11, due to road closures surrounding the 9/11 Mural Dedication at Becky’s Diner in Waverly.

🚧 Road closures will be in effect from 9:30 AM–11:30 AM. Waverly Street will be closed between Broad Street and Elizabeth Street, along with additional nearby road closures.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as our community gathers to honor and remember the lives lost and forever changed on September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸

The Choice Morning Show recently welcomed Kim Paul, President of The Bridge of the Penn-York Valley Churches, and Liz Cocco, longtime coordinator of the Valley Food Pantry, to share some exciting news about the pantry’s future!

After more than two decades of operating from a small portion of the building at 418 Waverly Street, the Valley Food Pantry has purchased the entire facility and is preparing to expand.

The need in our community continues to grow. Since 2017, the number of families served has increased by 58%, while the number of individuals receiving assistance has increased by 74%.

The expanded facility will provide a dedicated entrance, improved waiting and intake areas, more shopping and storage space, and other much-needed improvements. Approximately $65,000 in renovations are still needed to make the project a reality.

The Bridge is currently seeking grants and community support, and an anonymous donor has generously offered to match donations up to $10,000 toward the renovation project.

A link to hear the full interview is in the comments below. Thank you for continuing to support the Valley Food Pantry and the families it serves throughout our community!
