A new and improved food bank The Northeastern Lancaster County Food Bank had a rough turn of the year, but Dixie Adams, who coordinates the pantry, could see the blessing in the events. “Our freezer broke in December 2023,” reported Adams. “We had a flood in January.” The pantry has now reopened with enhancements. The food bank is larger, and it has a commercial refrigerator and freezer. “We have a brand-new floor, and it looks so much better,” said Adams.
The Northeastern Lancaster County Food Bank is located in St. Paul’s United Methodist Church (UMC), 105 W. Main St., Terre Hill. The pantry is open the third Thursday of each month from 1 to 6 p.m. First-time participants are asked for identification. “I confirm their address and phone number and how many are in the family to determine the size groceries they get,” said Adams, who added that to utilize the food bank, recipients must live in the ELANCO School District Dixie Adams is excited about the changes and not participate in other at the Northeastern Lancaster County
