Tamaqua Area Faith Fellowship Network member Paul Dodson, right, presents checks to the Rev. Darryl Kensinger, left, pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, and the Rev. Richard Clemson, pastor at American Primitive Methodist Church. Both churches operate food pantries in Tamaqua serving up to 300 families a month. TAFFN’s October monthlong hunger campaign collected 115 boxes of food and raised over $12,000 for the local food pantries. The pantry at American Primitive Methodist, 57 Hunter St., distributes food on the second Wednesday of the month from 2-5 p.m. and the third Wednesday of the month from 10 a.m. to noon and 4-5:30 p.m. The Friends in Need pantry at Trinity, 22 Lafayette St., distributes food to families in the Tamaqua Area School District by appointment. Call 570-391-6719 for an appointment. TAFFN is an organization of lay leaders from Tamaqua area congregations operating under the umbrella of the Tamaqua Area Community Partnership.
