June is Pride Month. WGAL is covering stories on the issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community in the Susquehanna Valley.
A unique food bank in Lancaster County is open to anyone, but it's serving an important need in the LGBTQ + community in several ways.Walk into this food bank at St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Penryn , near Manheim, and you see many of the staples you'd expect to find.
'Though our community is in great need, this is open for everybody. We do not ask people to be this queer to enter at all. You can just come and ask for food and get it here. We are a no-restrictions food pantry,' Webb said.No restrictions mean no income requirements, and you don't have to be on public assistance.'You can just come here and ask for food, and we sign you in and you're done,' Webb said.The food bank provides more than just food for the queer community.
