Each month our Whitehall Area Rotary Club helps distribute Sunshine Boxes to Senior Citizens in need. Two volunteers are needed each month. Please contact John Orsini if you can help - 610-390-8833 or orsini_j_a@yahoo.com
SUNShine Boxes are Second Harvest Food Bank’s distribution of food through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), a federally-funded program that is designed to improve the health and nutrition of low-income senior citizens, post-partum mothers, and children. A supply of staple foods, provided by the USDA, are packed into boxes and distributed once a month to registered participants. The boxes contain cereal, juice, canned vegetables and fruit, evaporated milk, pasta, peanut butter, protein (beef, chicken, or tuna), and cheese.
Currently, Second Harvest serves 2,475 individuals each month. We rely on a dedicated group of volunteers to pack the SUNShine boxes each month.
