"Through our yearly food drive, the Bethesda Mission Food Bank feels the unique generosity of Central Pennsylvanians. Utilizing drop-off bins at Dauphin County Libraries, Sharp Shopper, Bethesda Mission Men’s Shelter, and other participating organizations, our neighbors make it a priority to feed our shelter guests and neighbors in need by filling the gap of hunger. Physical food or monetary donations benefit one man, one woman, one child at a time,” director of outreach Dave Hicks said.
Those interested can do one of three options: drop off at Bethesda Mission, Dauphin County Library Branches, Sharp Shopper and Gateway Health Community Connection Center; host a food drive in your community; or make money donations to Bethesda Mission online or by P.O. Box.
