Due to banking issues, any checks for Catasauqua Area Food Bank must be made out to Catasauqua Community Partnership or CCPI. The food bank has to return checks that were not made out this way.

The food bank is under the umbrella of the partnership, so CCPI manages the financial part of the operation.

Community support of the food bank is very important. The clients who benefit from the services appreciate your generosity.
