The Altoona Food Bank was started by the First United Methodist Church of Altoona in 1979. It's purpose is to provide food to those in need in Blair Cty.
The Altoona Food Bank is funded completely by donations. We receive no government funding. We graciously accept any donations of food or money. Donations are accepted any days we are open, at the 21st side door. We are staffed by an all-volunteer crew. Anyone interested in donating or becoming a volunteer can contact us at 814-942-8415.

THANK YOU to Renewal by Anderson Window Replacement company and Hometown Markets for the huge donation the food bank received on Monday. We are overwhelmed by your kindness for collecting the food and non perishables for us to distribute. You are really helping to “Close the Window on Hunger”. Thanks to all who contributed in some way. You are so appreciated by us at the Altoona Food Bank’
We are very grateful to members of Broad Ave United Methodist Church who donated shelving units to us. We are now better organized and have more room. What a wonderful gesture! Volunteers who assembled the shelves include Jim Rozier, Larry Bowers and Gary Peterman.
Some of our volunteers sharing!
RSVP donates to help veterans.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Blair and Huntingdon Counties has donated items to help support programs at the James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center that address the health and welfare of local veterans.
The medical center identified items it needed and RSVP volunteers provided, among other things:
• Arts and crafts for recreational programs used by veteran patients for therapy, hobby and leisure
• Gift cards and household startup items for a program for homeless veterans establishing permanent housing
• Baby clothes and care items for new veteran mothers
• Personal care and comfort items distributed to hospitalized patients and homeless veterans
RSVP volunteers brought the items, valued at $1,737, to the RSVP Volunteer Recognition banquets in both counties in April. This is the second year the volunteers have done this. Judy Baird, Judy Hoover and Irene Homer, representing RSVP Volunteers in Blair & Huntingdon counties, present donations for veterans to Ronda Wagner, Volunteer Services Assistant at the VA Medical Center (see photo).
RSVP thanks the volunteers for their generosity and our veterans for their service.
For information about RSVP, contact Dorcey Cuzzolina, RSVP coordinator at 1-800-323-9997. RSVP is sponsored by Center for Community Action and funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
For information on donating to the VA medical center, contact the volunteer coordinator’s office at 814-940-7833.
