The Community REACH Educational Program will not be in session through May 4, 2020. Our Tentative plan is to resume our Program on May 5, 2020.
A message from our President of Our Board of Directors, Rev. David TieTje...
Community REACH, Inc. is open to minister to the least fortunate in our community. However, instead of guests entering the facility (due to social distancing restrictions) all distributions from the pantry are made curbside. New clients are being received, people in need are encouraged to CALL the agency to arrange for an intake assessment. The agency phone number is: (717)244-6934
Because the schools are closed, the agency has temporarily suspended the weekend backpack program which provides supplemental nutrition for children and youth. As soon as possible, this program will resume.
Things congregations can do for Community REACH, Inc. during this difficult time:
Because the schools are closed, the agency has temporarily suspended the weekend backpack program which provides supplemental nutrition for children and youth. As soon as possible, this program will resume.
Things congregations can do for Community REACH, Inc. during this difficult time:
- Pray for the protection of the staff and volunteers, whose work is considered essential and “life-sustaining.”
- Make financial contributions directly to Community REACH, either on-line or the old-fashioned way: mail checks to Community REACH, Inc., 15 First Avenue, Red Lion, PA 17356
- Avoid attempting to make a direct donation of food. For the safety of all staff, volunteers and agency guests, Community REACH, Inc. is not receiving any food contributions due to the coronavirus. All food given away is either purchased or donated through the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and other wholesale outlets.
