At Second Harvest Food Bank, we believe all people deserve access to healthy, nourishing food. Second Harvest Food Bank works to eliminate food insecurity by providing nutritious food to those in need, dismantling access barriers, and advocating for health and racial equity.

Our Mission is to obtain food and distribute it to people in need through area nonprofits and to provide resources for education and advocacy to end hunger. We proudly serve Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties.

Second Harvest food banks prioritize nutritious, non-perishable items low in sodium and sugar. Top needed items include canned proteins (tuna, chicken), peanut butter, canned vegetables/fruits, soup, stew, pasta, rice, and cereal.

Most Needed Food Items

• Proteins: Peanut butter, canned tuna, canned salmon, canned chicken, dried beans, lentils.
• Canned Goods: Vegetables (low sodium), fruit (in juice or water), soup, stew, chili, pasta sauce.
• Grains: Whole-grain cereal, oatmeal, pasta, rice, flour, crackers.
• Healthy Snacks: Dried fruits, nuts, granola bars.
• Other: Shelf-stable milk, cooking oil, condiments. 

Volunteer Opportunity: English Language Tutoring



The English Language Classes program, an adult ESL program which operates at the Cathedral of the Nativity, is looking for volunteers. The free, non-denominational program has been in operation since 2021 and currently serves over 60 community members. Tutors help students improve their confidence in English speaking and listening, enhance familiarity with customs and procedures, and address needs by referring to appropriate resources. In addition, through participation in the program tutors help create the safe and welcoming community we all want for the Bethlehem area. 

Classes run from 7-9PM twice weekly, and tutors should commit to attending four or more sessions per semester. No experience is needed and there is no need to speak a second language. Orientation and training is provided. A Pennsylvania criminal background check is required. 

Anyone who is interested may call Ceil Connelly-Weida, one of the team volunteers, at 610-653-3278.
