You see that the Warminster Food Bank is supported by the John A. Powell Foundation. This group is represented by people that volunteered in our organization, saw good work, and helped us continue it and grow in a way that we never expected. Last year they gave us funding to purchase our food bank van and this year they are providing the funding to make all the lease payments on this location that we dedicate today to five years with an option for five more. Volunteers from the John A. Powell foundation were with us during the COVID period. Before COVID, this organization did 30,000 lbs. of food assistance a year. Now It takes 31,000 pounds a month to cover the needs of our mission. The John A Powell Foundation has seen that growth and supported it with their generosity, and for that, we are all grateful.

Vision: To imagine a community where no one struggles with the unconscionable choice as to whether they are going to buy food or pay the rent, buy food or pay the electric bill, buy food or pay for a new prescription medication, buy food or put gas in the car, buy food or buy school supplies, and so on, and so on.
Mission:. To do something about it. To build awareness and to marshal the resources of a kind, compassionate, generous, and gracious community to serve those who need food assistance and to do it in a way that preserves dignity and respect.
Your neighbors, the Senior living alone, the Veteran struggling with medical bills, the Single-Parent trying to get two kids off to school may be food insecure.
However, more than food, real hunger comes from a lack of seeing those who need our help and allowing them to remain invisible among us
.
The mission is simple yes, but the challenges are hard.
Here in Bucks County one in nine people are food insecure. Bucks is the third wealthiest county in the State and ranked in the top 75 in the country with a median household income of $111,000. How’s that possible? That means there’s a disconnect somewhere, a breach:
A breach in economic security, A breach in opportunities leading to a livable wage, a breach in rising food costs, a breach in fairness, a breach in access to affordable healthcare and medications, a breach in dignity and respect for those trying to make ends meet. Standing in that breach and working on the front lines of this mission is our army of volunteers and all of you. These missionaries are doing the work of a higher purpose on behalf of our generous community. We are Neighbors helping Neighbors, As the Prophet Isaiah said, they are “Repairers of the Breach”
Thank You for Your Continued Support.
