Food Programs

Our food programs work to fight food insecurity in our neighboring communities. We provide food to over 300 individuals monthly through our many outreach programs. We believe that the foundation of society is built by ensuring that our communities' food needs are met.

We aim to provide a combination of fresh items and non-perishables. Offerings vary but typically include fresh fruit and vegetables, canned goods, pasta, meat, eggs, and other dairy items.

Sign Up

Recipients must be enrolled in this program. Applications are available at our Center and can be filled out the day of Food Bank or prior by scheduling a visit at the MVYATA Center (contact info below). Valid ID or driver's license is required. Once you enroll you will be given directions on how to collect your food. 

*** We unfortunately cannot service Westmoreland County residents for this Food Bank ***

Location

Distribution is at our Mon Valley Youth and Teen Association Center, located at 160 Thompson Avenue, Donora, PA 15033. 

Walkers line up at the corner of 2nd Street & Thompson Avenue (bringing your own durable bags, cart, buggy, or wagon of some sort is suggested as there are many items & can be heavy and difficult to carry). Cars line up on Thompson Avenue facing 2nd Street with the rear of your vehicle towards 4th Street. Drivers cannot line up with the walkers and should remain in their vehicle at all times during food distribution.

Holidays

If distribution occurs on a National Holiday, we will schedule for another day in the month.

I’ve stopped for produce with my granddaughter, she had fun carrying the food she picked up. The staff was super friendly to us. Thank you. These services are a blessing to many families.
