SPEAKER: Former Rotarian Charles Lockard
We were happy to welcome back Charles to give us an update on the food Pantry at Lehman Church.
It is important to note that all the local and surrounding food pantries work together, along with the community.
Most are a part of the Montco Hunger Network and readily talk about needs and resources.
The Lehman Pantry is open 3 days in the morning (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). Approximately 40-60 people per week utilize the pantry. The pantry (and others in the area) are basically stocked through donations. The Boy scouts do a very successful food drive during the year and also collect items during local events. Businesses' in town hold food drives as well as other organizations. We would not be able to help feed people without those donations. Lehman supports people who live within a 5-mile radius of the Church. If someone came in that lives outside that area, the staff will help them find the closest pantry to their home and also give some things t take home.
The pantry is staffed by volunteers so if you are interested in helping out, come to the pantry on a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday between 9:30 and 12. Thank you Charles for the update
