Food Pantry
The food pantry is available to all Tioga County residents who are in need of food. Surrounding areas of Pennsylvania can be served with a limited amount of food due to funding sources. Visits are limited to once per month unless referred by a community agency or school. Food donations are always needed and welcomed!
Clothing and Household Items
Clothing and household items are available. Due to limited items we reserve the right to limit the amount of clothing per person. Donations of good and clean new or used clothing and household items are greatly appreciated!
Personal Needs Items
Personal needs items such as shampoo, toilet paper, and toothpaste are often available. Items available are solely based on donations received.
Emergency Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available for Tioga County residents. These funds are very limited. Financial assistance is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Assistance that may be available includes:
- help with security deposits to find appropriate housing.
- prescription assistance for those in need of a prescription that they cannot afford.
- utility assistance to avoid shut off.
Job Board & Interview Closet
Our job listing display board posts current job openings forwarded to us by the Department of Labor. There is also a computer available to search for jobs and type up resumes. In addition, we have a variety of women's and men's dress clothes available for job interviews.
Assistance with Food Stamp applications is provided through our Nutrition Outreach Education Program (NOEP).
A program to purchase high quality food at low cost.
Other Services Provided Throughout the Year
In the past we have been able to offer food baskets at Thanksgiving, Toys for children at Christmas, back to school supplies, and community food giveaways. However, these types of services depend on yearly funding, donations, and fundraisers.
