(ALLENTOWN, PA) – The Allentown Rescue Mission thanks the community and its faithful supporters for
the outpouring of donations during its 23rd annual Thanks for Giving Food & Supplies Drive. The multiday event collected 66, 238 lbs. of food and cleaning supplies, an increase of 10% over the prior year.
New this year, the Mission instituted a successful meal match campaign, in addition to food and supplies
collected, to provide its men with healthy and nutritious meals.
“Reports from December 2023 showed that Pennsylvania ranked #1 in the U.S. for inflation, so receiving
10% more in weighed food and supplies over 2022 was a huge success because of our loyal supporters!
Thank you for your generosity,” declared Lori Novak, Development Manager for the Allentown Rescue
Mission.
The donations received fed guests over the holidays, restocked Mission shelves for the upcoming year,
and helped to offset higher grocery costs and higher demand. The Allentown Rescue Mission has seen
an increase in the number of meals it serves because many men need to stay longer due to the rise in
rent costs and living expenses.
Thank you to everyone who chose to support the food and supplies drive. Every donation helps the
Allentown Rescue Mission achieve its mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Restore homeless men.
