Meetinghouse Committee – The meeting house committee continues to do incidental maintenance concerns such as light fixtures, bathroom paper towel containers, repairing folding chairs, painting as needed, picnic table umbrella, fire extinguishers, Rotor router plumbing, and keys.

Food Bank Report – September is Hunger Action Month
The State College Food Bank staff and volunteers are enjoying the new space opened in 2024 at 169 Gerald Street, State College. Groceries and monetary donations continue to be needed to meet the increasing demand.
“Heather Lee, business manager for the State College Food Bank, said over the past six months the food bank has seen an increase from serving about 250 to 300 households a month to serving 400 to 425.”
Non-perishable donations can be brought to the church and placed in bags or boxes under the coat rack at the parking lot entrance. Non-perishable donations can also be taken to the 24-hour drop-off location at 169 Gerald Street, State College. Monetary donations can be made on the website or checks can be mailed to State College Food Bank, 169 Gerald Street, State College, PA 16801.
Thank you for helping to end food insecurity in the Centre Region. – Mary Derstein
