Northampton Area Food Bank wishes to thank everyone who donated to the food bank over the past Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. These food and monetary donations helped to make the holidays merrier for the many clients of the food bank.

Cold weather and holidays combine to make this a difficult time for both the food bank and the families it serves.

Volunteers offer appreciation to all those who remember the Northampton Area Food Bank throughout the year.
