Media Food Bank – Request for Assistance
Dear Neighbors,
The Media Food Bank has issued a request for donations as they are running low on supplies and food. To assist in “social distancing”, I have volunteered to help consolidate donations and deliver them to the food bank every Thursday morning. So, if you’d like to make a donation to the Media Food Bank, please feel free to drop off donations on my front porch (there is a large plastic bin on the porch) at 302 Melanies Way, Wallingford, PA 19086. If you need the donations picked up, please text me at 610.213.3133 and I’ll stop by your house (for “social distancing purposes”, you can put the bags in the back of my SUV or you can leave them outside for pickup).
Below are the most needed items:
Cardboard boxes for pre-packing food
Cleaning supplies
Grocery store gift cards
Pet food
Feminine hygiene products
Cereal
Canned Soup
Chicken broth
Any form of rice, but especially microwavable pouches
Spam
Condiments like ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise
Sardines
Canned Fruit
Jams/Jellies
Peanut Butter
Macaroni and cheese
Dried pasta

Alternatively, the Media Food Bank can accept donations online through the First United Methodist website – there is a drop down menu and you click “food bank” Here is the link: https://giving.ncsservices.org/App/Giving/ncs-3786
Kind Regards,
Kevin Henry
