S. WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. - In just three months, the number of households served by food pantries in Lehigh County has gone up by 25%. In Northampton County, that number has reached 50%.
"They're already facing higher fuel prices, higher rent and home prices, and now they're facing higher food prices. It's just too much to bear," said Allison Czapp, Associate Executive Director of Second Harvest Food Bank.
That's why the Second Harvest Food Bank and WFMZ's Food Truck Food Drive on Saturday is vital.
"It'll be a great opportunity for people to come out and taste some great food at food trucks, enjoy some fresh air, and most importantly support their community by bringing cans and household items," Czapp said.
And this year, it's finally back in person.
"We've been cooped up for so long, everyone's wanting to get back out in the community," Czapp said.
When you come to the Second Harvest-WFMZ Food Truck Food Drive at Dorney Park, your entry to Saturday's event can be a canned good, a household item, or nonperishable food. Once inside, you can enjoy six different local food trucks, and help the community while you're at it.
"We're really excited to bring people back, see them in person, thank them in person and have them see firsthand the impact of their neighbors and the rest of the community come out and participate in this wonderful cause," Czapp said.
The Food Truck Food Drive between WFMZ and Second Harvest Food Bank will be Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Dorney Park.
