The BPALL Gives Back Food Drive will be held Saturday, May 21, 2022. This will be a great way for your family to help give back to the Berwyn Paoli Area Little League by helping our league to give back to the local community.
BPALL started the annual BPALL Gives Back Food Drive tradition in June of 2020 when demand at the local food banks skyrocketed during the first wave of the COVID 19 Pandemic. In 2021, the BPALL Challenger Division took over the food collection / drop off for the BPALL Gives Back Food Drive as this was a great way for the Challenger players and their families to support the BPALL organization which has truly embraced our BP Angels Challenger Baseball program for over 30 years.
Donations to the BPALL Gives Back Food Drive go to the Great Valley Food Cupboard located at The Great Valley Baptist Church at 945 North Valley Forge Road, Devon PA. This food pantry serves the Tredyffrin/Easttown and Great Valley area residents and is partnered with the Chester County Food Bank. More information about this Great Valley Food Cupboard can be found at the bottom of this article.
There are 2 options for families to help contribute food and other needed items:

Great Valley Food Cupboard
What We Do – Who We Serve
In these difficult economic times, there are local families that struggle to put food on their tables each day. The Great Valley Food Cupboard, located in our Scott Building, provides food to local families needing an extra supply each month, proudly partnering with the Chester County Food Bank and others. It is open each Tuesday from 11am-2pm and the second Wednesday of each month, from 6pm-8pm. Any Tredyffrin/Easttown or Great Valley families needing support should call the church office at 610-688-5445 or email us for more details on signing up.
As you can imagine — filling the shelves for a food cupboard is a challenge! Donations from the community are critical to the success of any food cupboard. All types of non-perishable foods are needed. If you are involved with a group or neighborhood that would be willing to run an occasional food drive, or if you are just someone wanting to help out, please contact the Great Valley Food Cupboard through the church office at 610-688-5445 or via email. All offers of support are appreciated.
