IMPORTANT NOTICE concerning the Nescopeck Area Community Food giveaway:
Beginning July 8, 2025, we will be holding registration inside the building before you pick up your food outside. Hours are 10am-1:45pm.
DIRECTIONS for lining up will change. Line up on 5th St to Warren, turn left on Warren to Harter Ave, turn right on Harter Ave. PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK ANY DRIVEWAYS!
Due to NACC signing up for "The Emergency Food Assistance Program" (TEFAP), everyone is required to fill out a "Self Declaration of Need" form that will be provided.
On July 8th everyone will be assigned a pick-up time like was done before the giveaway moved outside. These times will be strictly enforced.
If you are picking up for other families, you will need to bring a paper signed by them to give you permission to pick up their food. You will also be given a "Self Declaration of Need" form which includes a proxy (permission to pick up) that needs to be filled out by them and MUST be returned the next time you pick up food. If you do not return the form, you will not be given food for that family.
You MUST bring a utility bill each time you come to pick up food (this is our check that you are a resident of the Berwick Area School District).
If you rent and do not have a utility bill, you will need your driver's license for proof of residency.
REMEMBER, you must live within the Berwick Area School District to receive food.
We will have volunteers directing traffic to 650 Harter Ave (The Hope Center), that houses NACC. We will allow 10 cars at a time to park & to register. We will open our doors at 10am, so please do not come early and block the roads. You will be given an assigned time on July 8th. Please be patient and be kind as we start this new program to help you, our community.
