2019 Summer Feeding Program
The Society’s Youth Ministry sponsors a summer feeding program at the Evergreen Manors Housing facility. It began when the Altoona School District discontinued its on-site feeding program for school-age children. The program was made possible by contributions from the SVDP Assumption Chapel Food Pantry and the SVDP Altoona Soup Kitchen. Both breakfast and lunch were served to children up to age 18. The program averages 250 meals a week.
