Water Street Mission Food Drive 2025

March 3rd to March 31st

Join Our March Food Drive Supporting Water Street Mission

We’re coming together to support Water Street Mission in providing meals to those in need throughout Lancaster County. Join us in giving back and making a difference—every donation helps feed our community.


Why This Matters

No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. Yet, for many in our community, that uncertainty is a daily reality. By coming together, we can help change that.

A small act—donating a few cans of food, picking up an extra box of pasta, or making a small financial contribution—adds up to something bigger. It’s about showing up for our neighbors, making sure families have what they need, and reminding each other that we’re not alone.

Drop off Location & Hours

03/03/2025 - 03/31/2025

Monday - Friday, 8AM - 5PM

Building doors automatically lock outside business hours.

Address: 300 West Chestnut St, Ephrata, PA 17522

You can help support our efforts by dropping off your donations at the large bin located through the glass doors in the vestibule.

"The food you donate is used to provide over 300 meals each day at Water Street, as well as provide groceries to the hundreds of Lancaster families that come through our Outreach Center each week."

Food Safety Reminder: To ensure the health and well-being of those receiving donations, please check that all food items are unexpired and will remain fresh for at least three months beyond the donation date. Perishable, opened, or homemade items cannot be accepted.
