It serves 17% of the county’s residents who receive food under the PA Dept. of Agriculture’s Emergency Food Assistance Program. Only American Rescue Workers and the Salvation Army food programs in Williamsport are larger. This fact demonstrates that people living in small towns and rural areas in our area are also very much in need. In October 682 households and 1,827 individuals were served. Son Light House depends on your contributions for food purchases, operating expenses and transportation expenses. Prayers, volunteers, money and food donations are always needed.
