The food pantry serves more than 275 households in the Back Mountain, representing more than 750 people. Twenty orders are given out every Friday morn- ing. This year the pantry provided 173 Easter dinner baskets for registered families. More than 30 volunteers staff the food pan- try with 40-50 man-hours being dedicated each week. This is the fourth summer that the pantry will sponsor the “hungry tummies program” geared toward providing food products that children can easily fix for themselves because they do not have access to the break- fast and lunch programs at school. Donations may be sent to The Back Mountain Food Pantry, 40 Knob Hill Rd., Trucksville, PA 18708. The pantry is located in the lower level of the Trucksville United Methodist Church Ad- ministration Building.
