What is UMACC?
The Upper Merion Area Community Cupboard (UMACC) is a food pantry open to anyone who lives within the bounds of the Upper Merion Area School District and is hungry or food insufficient. The UMACC is located in the Valley Forge Presbyterian building (191 Town Center Road, KOP).
The parking lot entrance is off Independence Road. Using 227 Independence Road (19406) as a destination in your GPS/Maps App will get you closest to the entrance. The entrance to the UMACC is down the ramp off the corner of the parking lot. Look for the red wooden doors!
UMACC Hours
The Upper Merion Area Community Cupboard is open EVERY TUESDAY from 9:30 – 11:30am or 5:00 – 7:00pm.
Currently patrons are welcome to shop each week during the COVID-19 season. Any hungry neighbor within the bounds of the Upper Merion Area School District may come. Patrons do not need to demonstrate any identification or proof of income, and all food and household items are offered to our patrons at no cost.
In order to best protect all of our shoppers and volunteers from the spread of the virus, shoppers will be checked-in by our registration volunteers in the parking lot while in their vehicles, asked to park in an available spot, and then informed by our volunteers when it is their turn to enter the building. The yellow arrows in the picture demonstrate how we ask our shoppers to enter and exit the parking lot. There may be a line of cars at points throughout the morning, so we ask our shoppers to please remain patient and in their vehicles as they wait for the line to move!
