Weekly food pantry to open at farmers market

A weekly food pantry for Carbon County residents will resume in Mahoning Township.

Friends Helping Neighbors, through Second Harvest Food Bank, will open from 2-4 p.m. Monday at the Mahoning Farmers Market.

Dean Fisher, director at Friends Helping Neighbors, said that now its being sponsored by the Carbon County Community Foundation, a nonprofit organization.

“We were able to go under their umbrella to operate this pantry,” he said. “We’re just restarting the program that we ran last year at the Farmers Market.”

Fisher said all monetary donations can be made to the Carbon County Community Foundation, 160 S. 2nd St #3b, Lehighton, PA 18235.

He said there will be no donations accepted at the pantry.
