Community Activities

Angel Food Ministries is a nationwide program offering high quality food at a low cost regardless of income. It is “a food ministry with a servant’s heart.”

Their “Signature Box” includes a variety of meat and vegetables. You can also order right from the special menus listed in the monthly brochures WITHOUT purchasing the Signature Box. These vary from month to month and are extremely good buys. Special menus include already prepared meals (great for seniors), an allergen-free food box, “Just 4 Me After School Box,” and a premium fresh fruit and veggie box.

Orders may be placed in person at Park Place, Muncy ( 9-10 a.m.), Broadway Apts., Hughesville (10:30-11 a.m.) or the Hughesville Camp (199 Race St., Hughesville). Payment is due at time of ordering.

Son Light House is one of the largest food pantry programs in the county. 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. For more information contact Ken and Delores Frey, 546-7307.
