Big Spring Area Food Bank is a ministry that began its monthly food distributions in 1990. Since 2010, distributions have been made from Big Spring United Lutheran Church, 101 Crossroad School Road.
Distributions are made every month to families living in the Big Spring School District. The food bank has been serving between 120 and 140 families in recent months. However, we anticipate an increased need for food as residents are being furloughed or laid off during mandatory business closures. Online donation is not up and running as of yet.
Donations may be sent to: Big Spring Area Food Bank, P O Box 82, Newville, PA 17241.
Thank you for considering a donation to the Food Bank. It is much needed. We are all in this together.
