The Warminster Food Bank is teaming up with the Biddle Air National Guard Base in Horsham for a Stuff the Humvee food collection event on Sunday, July 10 from 9:00 AM to 12:00PM (rain or shine) at the Giant Supermarket located at 720 W. Street Road, Warminster, PA.

Area residents and business owners are invited to participate. A list of needed items will be provided to shoppers at the store’s entrances. These items will be used to provide monthly groceries and supplies for families in need in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Donations of cash or Giant gift cards will also be accepted.

The Biddle Air National Guard Base will provide a Humvee for the event and uniformed military personnel will be on hand to work with Giant employees, Food Bank volunteers and Giant customers to fill the vehicle with food. The items collected will be provided to people in need in Warminster and the surrounding communities. The Warminster Food Bank serves over 7000 people a year in Bucks and Montgomery Counties.

“Since many people are on vacation during the summer months, our donations slow down to a trickle,” said Mike Cerino, Director, Warminster Food Bank. “Yet the need remains, no matter the season. So, we urge people to come out, make a donation of non-perishable food items and help us stuff the Humvee and alleviate food insecurity in our community.”

Recruiters from the PA Air National Guard will also be present at the event to answer any questions about the Air National Guard.
