For many, the holidays are a time when the major issue with food is concern about overeating.
For others, the holidays are just like the days before and the days after, when the big issue with food and perhaps the big issue, period is worry about having enough.
One of the ways society deals with that concern is the charity system, which in Blair County, includes the Altoona Food Bank.
That organization is relocating this week from the 2100 block of Sixth Avenue to a renovated building on the 2300 block of North Branch Avenue, not far from the new home of Blair County Community Action Agency and the future location of Family Services’ homeless shelter both of which have missions that intersect with the food bank’s.

Light those candles and keep your religious celebration at home this year, say faith leaders statewide. (Shutterstock)
HARRISBURG, PA Religious leaders statewide joined Gov. Tom Wolf this week in a big holiday ask: Please stay home for your holiday worship and religious celebrations.
Wolf issued a statement this week asking Pennsylvanians to take COVID-19 precautions and help one another stay safe during the upcoming holiday season. After a difficult year like this one, I know that we all want to take comfort in our family and religious traditions during the holidays, Gov. Wolf said. But the truth is that COVID-19 is still as dangerous as ever right now, and the best thing we can do to protect our loved ones is to worship and celebrate at home this year.
