Oxford, Pa (December 11, 2023) – Investments in the Oxford Area Neighborhood Services Center (NSC) are helping support its mission to combat food and basic needs insecurity in Southern Chester County, Senator Carolyn Comitta announced.
Comitta secured $50,000 in state grant funding for facility improvements, repairs, and upgrades at the NSC that helped create a shopping-like experience for community members using its food pantry.
“Organizations like Oxford Neighborhood Services Center are a lifeline to community members facing a crisis or hardship,” Comitta said. “With this investment, the organization can further its mission to combat food insecurity, empower our residents’ success, and foster hope within our communities.”
Comitta also reminded residents that while donations tend to increase during the holiday season, the need to support local food banks and cupboards is year-round.
In addition to the food pantry located at 35 N. 3rd Street in Oxford, the NSC offers basic needs assistance, referral services, and partners with other community non-profits to assist community members.
Comitta also reminded residents that while donations tend to increase during the holiday season, the need to support local food banks and cupboards is year-round.
After a fire struck downtown Oxford in September of this year, the Oxford NSC was a key community partner helping assist the nearly 100 displaced residents impacted by the fire.
