EASTON, Pa. — ASPIRE to Autonomy Inc. will distribute 125 food boxes on Friday, November 14, as part of its ongoing community support efforts amid economic uncertainty.
The nonprofit’s Community Intervention Services team will host a Community Wellness Hub and Food Box Giveaway from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday at Centennial Park, 1200 Ferry St, Easton, PA 18042.
The event will provide pre-filled food boxes to individuals and families while offering connections to housing, mental health and other support services.
The giveaway is the first of four planned events in Easton funded by a grant from the Easton Rotary and a District Matching Grant. ASPIRE has conducted similar food box distributions for more than five years.
“With a continuing government shutdown, the Pennsylvania state budget not passed, and SNAP benefits hanging in limbo, we know our neighbors are feeling the pain and uncertainty,” said Darnell Davis, co-founder and CEO of ASPIRE. “We are stepping up to ensure our neighbors have the support they need.”
ASPIRE to Autonomy is a nonprofit organization focused on combating human trafficking by addressing root causes that increase individual vulnerability. The organization operates a state-licensed mental health clinic and community-based wellness hubs.
The nonprofit seeks community donations to increase the number of food boxes from 125 to 150.
Individuals and families can pre-register for a food box by emailing freedom@pathtoautonomy.org or through the organization’s social media channels.
