Along with Branch 352, Branches 34 and 71 also participated in the party, and members from all three branches donated food items for the food bank. The food was donated to Northside Community Food Pantry, which is located just a few blocks from the Home Office. We donated 307 food items weighing a total of 337 pounds. The pantry provides food for over 950 Northside families each month. There is only one paid staff member; the rest of the staff are volunteers. Please remember to report any community volunteer work you may perform to us so that we can share it here in William Penn Life. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday this month.
