Phoebe Allentown Raises Over 897lbs in Food Donations
Every holiday season, Phoebe Allentown collects donations for the Allentown Area Ecumenical Food Bank to help support our surrounding community. Last year, we donated 751lbs of food items with the help of residents, their family members, and our staff. This year, organized by the staff members on our Faith in Action (FIA) committee, the Phoebe community worked together to go above and beyond. We exceeded last year’s donation by collecting over 897lbs of canned good, boxed goods, and other needed personal items. That’s a 146lb difference!
The Allentown Area Ecumenical Food Bank assists 800+ low-income households and over 24,000 individuals each year on average, and served over 28,000 people last year alone. All donations help keep shelves stocked and provide resources during the most critical months, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Phoebe Allentown would like to thank the dedicated and kind families, residents, and staff members who worked together to exceed our goal to help our community this holiday season.
