The Ephrata Food bank is looking for easy microwavable meals which they give out to families to ensure children have food they can make safely.
The Ephrata food bank located at 1010 A St SE is in need of food donations. Director Phyllis Fuglie said the biggest need is foods high in protein such as meat, beans, peanut butter, nuts and protein bars.

EPHRATA – The Ephrata Food Bank, a resource for families in the Ephrata community, is currently facing significant challenges due to dwindling supplies, but increased demand, Director Phyllis Fuglie said. Since moving to its current location in 2003, the food bank has served as a lifeline for many residents struggling with food insecurities. Prior to the current building the food bank operated out of the Ephrata Recreation Center. According to volunteers, the need for assistance has only intensified in recent months as food sources have diminished.
