Food Bank Continues to Serve Community

LOCK HAVEN – The New Love Center and its “pop-up pantries” had another successful offering at Clinton Plaza off E. Walnut Street on Thursday afternoon. There was a steady stream of traffic as the New Love Center, in conjunction with the Great Island Presbyterian Church, provided food free of charge to community members in need due to COVID-19.

The food provided comes from the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank out of Harrisburg and Williamsport.

A spokesperson said the next Lock Haven pantry will be held Thursday, April 23. A similar distribution will be held in Renovo on Friday, April 17.

The New Love Center recently acquired four acres of land on Route 150 between Dunnstown and Woolrich. They plan on constructing a large storage and distribution facility complete with food bank, a cafe, classrooms and nutrition education. A capital campaign will be kicking off during the second half of this year.
