EBENSBURG, Nov. 26 – State Rep. Frank Burns has launched his annual food drive and is collecting nonperishable food items at his Ebensburg and Lower Yoder Township offices now through Dec. 13 to help area families in need during the holiday season.

Burns said the items collected will be delivered to local food banks.

“With the high price of groceries, keeping nutritious food on the table can be a challenge for many families, especially during the holidays,” Burns said. “Our local food banks are an important resource, but supplies often become depleted this time of year. To help keep them stocked, my office hosts an annual food drive, and our generous community always steps up to pitch in.

“I’m encouraging everyone who wishes to donate to bring nonperishable food items – including canned and boxed goods – to my offices in Lower Yoder Township or Ebensburg. Your donation will make a difference for a neighbor in need.”

Burns’ Johnstown (Lower Yoder Township) office is located at 535 Fairfield Ave., and his Ebensburg office is located at 123 W. High St.  

Residents with questions may call the Johnstown office at 814-536-8400 or the Ebensburg office at 814-472-8021.
