On September 1, 1983, the Southwest Butler County Food Cupboard opened its doors.  It was begun as a “Christian Outreach Project” of the Calvin United Presbyterian, Grace Reformed, Park United Presbyterian and Zion Evangelical Lutheran Churches.

 

Initially food was provided on an as-needed basis.  As a regular client base developed, service expanded to a regularly scheduled monthly distribution attended by an average of 80 families by the spring of 2006. 

 

Each family is provided with non-perishable groceries apportioned from locally donated food and food supplied by a State program.  In addition to groceries, each family receives a small monetary gift voucher redeemable for food purchases at Shop N Save in Zelienople.
