John Buck Memorial Community Food Bank

The John Buck Memorial Community Food Bank was founded in 2000 after the passing of John Buck, a long-time Orange Township supervisor. John’s family generously donated the seed money to start the food bank. This year we celebrate our 25th year of service as we continue to honor John’s legacy to the community he so loved.

We provide 2 giveaways each month to residents in need within our community and surrounding service areas. We continue to try to help with the nutritional needs of our clients and aim to provide education on the overall benefits of proper eating and good personal hygiene. It is the mission of the John Buck Memorial Community Food Bank to serve people on a first-come, first-serve basis assisting in relieving hunger by providing supplemental food, fresh produce, hygiene & personal care, and cleaning items to individuals in need living in the local communities.

With the current economic situation, we are seeing our numbers growing extremely fast so your donation can make a dramatic impact to fight hunger and provide essential resources to those in need. With the growing number of families relying on our services, your donation is more important than ever.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us provide healthy and nutritious foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, eggs, frozen meats, and pantry staples, as well as essential personal hygiene products.

Here’s how you can help:

• Donate Funds: Your financial gift allows us to purchase fresh and healthy foods for our giveaways.
• Donate Goods: We welcome non-perishable food items, hygiene products, and other essentials.
• Volunteer Your Time: Join us in sorting, packing, and distributing food to our community.

Together, we can honor John Buck’s legacy and continue to serve those in need. Visit our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/JohnBuckMemorialCommunityFoodBank, email at johnbuckfb@yahoo.com, or call us at 570-490-8721 today.
