Community Services/Non-Profits in Lansdale, PA

“Very friendly and helpful staff. The market was pretty small but did have a variety of groceries. A lot off just to go out of code stuff from Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, and local supermarket. The application process was not invasive.Some stuff was well within code. As the market relies on donations they might not have got what you are looking for.
The meals to go was pretty good. They also have sit down hot meals some afternoons and there is also a for profit Coffee shop in the building. I have not tried either of those yet. There's a family YMCA in the building. One side of the lobby is all glass so you can see the pool. 4/23/26 update. Google asked for an update. Not sure what I can add except to say this place is wonderful. I was there today and they gave me a Jersey Mike sub. Thanks Jersey Mike for helping to make sure your community is fed. Thank You Jersey Mike!!!”

“This is a really neat organization and place. I got to meet the founder, Fran, who was very hands on. They do in service days where groups can sign up and have a lot of regular volunteers. Their name may be Jewish but they are non-denominational and help everybody they can!!
They specifically provide household, personal care, clothing, and other items to displaced families and those in need. As a volunteer you basically 'shop' for the individuals within a family (they stated it is usually mostly women and children) then box up everything with labels. It is all volunteers - down to even the delivery drivers! We went with a group of about 9 people.
1. Register before you visit.
2. Follow the signs as volunteers park in the back and that is also where donations are accepted.
3. Once you are in the volunteer door, sign in on the tablets to the left.
4. Then you will be directed to hang out at some tables, with the coat rack towards the right of the door
5. You will be given a tour and explanation of what they do and then assigned work!
Everything is clearly labeled and organized. You are split up into smaller groups and they have 'leaders' for volunteers that will provide collection lists, answer questions, direct and confirm. Everything is placed in not-too-heavy boxes and labeled properly. Items this organization donated to families in need include: tooth brushes, pot/pans, socks, pads/tampons/panty liners, shoes/boots, books, toys for all ages.
You feel really really good walking out those doors after your volunteer shift because you gain this connection for those in need as you shop for them. They are super organized and pleasant and honestly I have only more positive stuff to say!”
