 COPLAY REC & WELFARE MAINTAINS A FOOD BANK WHICH WAS INITIATED MANY YEARS AGO BY THE LATE JOYCE LONG.  THE FOOD BANK IS AVAILABLE TO COPLAY RESIDENTS ONLY WHO ARE REQUIRED TO REGISTER WITH PROOF OF RESIDENCY.  THE FOOD BANK IS OPEN ON THE 2ND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH, FROM 9:00AM TO 10:30AM, IN THE BASEMENT OF THE BOROUGH OFFICE BUILDING.  THE FOOD BANK TREASURY WAS ENHANCED SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN THE FORMER COPLAY HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSN. MADE A SIZABLE DONATION AND BY THOSE ANONYMOUS DONORS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED ALMOST ON A MONTHLY BASIS.  THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.



WE WANT TO WISH RICK HESS A SUCCESSFUL TENURE AS HEAD OF THE ORGANIZATION, WHICH WAS CREATED IN 1955 BY THE LATE GEORGE "SQUIRE"
MILLER.

GOD BLESS,
