In a statement released yesterday, Jim Byrnes, the director of the food bank, announced the launch of the food bank’s own website: www.nazarethareafoodbank.org

Serving as an information source, added the statement, the website will offer basic information, including hours of operation for donations and pick-up, needed items, weekly essentials, and more.

The website was developed by three employees.  Robin Connolly, Carmen Cortez and Mike Zehner created the site as part of their undergraduate degree program at Muhlenberg College.

“Robin, Carmen and Mike showed great interest in learning as much as they could about our efforts to help people in need and what sort of project they could take on to help us in a major way as an organization,” Byrnes said in the statement.  “We are really indebted to them for finding the means to host and develop the site and for designing what we launched today.  And they did this all on their own time, over discussions at lunch and then after their workdays ended at Martin Guitar.”

The Nazareth Area Food Bank serves people who live within the Nazareth Area School District, which includes the following municipalities: Nazareth, Stockertown, Tatamy, Bushkill Township, Lower Nazareth Township and Upper Nazareth Township.
