Food Bank

bulletLebanon County Christian Ministries was appointed by the County Commissioners as the lead agency to coordinate the Food Bank in Lebanon county.  The food bank is located at 818 Water St., Lebanon PA.  Call 274-2490 for assistance, to volunteer, or to donate items. 
bulletGrant money acquired from the State Food Purchase Program is based one-third each on the unemployed (2500), food stamp eligibles (3040), and medical assistance eligibles (10,055) in Lebanon County.  For the fiscal year 1997-98, Lebanon County's allocation was $89,824 received in quarterly payments.  Ironically, some of the biggest needs are personal care items that can't be purchased with grant money:  soap, laundry detergent, sanitary napkins, toilet tissue, toothpaste, deodorant, used pots and pans, forks, knives, and spoons.  In addition, blue jeans, especially large sizes, and sneakers are a need.
bulletAll services are free, including the noon meal sites.   LCCM coordinates efforts with eight other agencies:  Salvation Army, Jubilee Ministries, Rescue Mission, Mental Health/Mental Retardation, Children and Youth, Housing, New Perspectives, and Probe.
bulletAs the name of Lebanon County Christian Ministries suggests, many churches donate food, clothing and money, but so do other community organizations like the Boy Scouts, Lions Clubs, and the Post Office.
