Our mission is to help end hunger and increase opportunities for families to meet their nutritional needs with health and dignity.

Lower Valley Community Food Bank is a non-profit organization, serving the communities of Cheswick Borough, Harmar Township, Indiana Township, Springdale Borough and Springdale Township.  Approximately 170 families (about 750 individuals) are served.  We operate from the Springdale Borough Building on School Street in Springdale, PA.

Distribution: Food is distributed at the Springdale Borough Building twice a month on the second and fourth Thursdays from 1:00 – 3:00 pm.  Clients may come to both distributions.  Food may be obtained on an emergency basis by contacting the food bank.  It is the sole discretion of the food bank to determine emergency status and we encourage the utilization of other emergency organizations, such as the Red Cross and Salvation Army to supplement your needs.

Our income sources currently include federal and state grants, area churches, private donations, fundraisers, local businesses and the United Way.  Lower Valley Food Bank is a member agency of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in Duquesne, from which we receive some of our food items.

Lower Valley Food Bank is operated by a Board of Directors from local churches, members of local businesses, organizations, and the community at large.
