Ways We Help Feed Our Neighbors
Little Free Food Pantry
Our Little Free Food Pantry debuted in front of the church in fall 2023. Demand remains great and we refill the pantry daily. You can donate during worship or in the boxes outside of our front doors.

Have a Heart - Do Your Part
Winter brings on extra challenges for local food pantries, so during the month of February Salem sponsors a special food drive for the Bucks County Opportunity Council.
We partner with dozens of local businesses and in 2024 we were proud to collect over 2700 lbs of food.
Bucks County Housing Group
Food Pantry
Each week we collect food donations during the week in the large bins outside our front doors, as well as during our worship service.
Feed My Starving Children
FMSC strives to eliminate starvation in children throughout the world.
Each May Salem volunteers at Delaware Valley University's Mobile Pack event for FSMC. We help pack meals, which will be donated by FMSC partners around the world.
