Serving the octorara community
The Need
Hunger knows no boundaries. It affects women, children, mothers, fathers, infants, and the elderly. It doesn’t care about your location or appearance. Many hardworking individuals struggle to make ends meet, just a paycheck away from needing assistance. No one should ever go hungry, but unfortunately, many people do. That’s why we’re here. We’re a 97% volunteer organization dedicated to combating hunger.
Help us help others. Please support your local food cupboard.
Hunger Doesn't Take A Rest
Our Mission
The sole mission of the Octorara Area Food Cupboard is to provide food support to qualifying individuals and families in the greater Octorara area.
