Neighbors Helping Neighbors
The Commissioners and employees of Butler Township want to express our sincere thanks to EVERYBODY who donated for your thoughtful donations of food and cash.
Your generous donations enabled us to provide a substantial box and bags of both fresh produce, dairy and non-perishable items to dozens of residents of Butler Township. We are very proud of our township for answering the call for donations and your gift of cash made this food assistance possible for those experiencing food insecurity.
The outpouring of cash donations will enable us to provide additional support to future efforts to assist those residents who are in need through these next difficult months.
