FAQs

  • We are located at 16 Hetzel's Church Road in Pine Grove, PA. We are in building #2 towards the rear. Our entrance is on the right side of the building. Look for our sign above the door.

  • To shop at PGA Pathway, you must provide proof of residency in the Pine Grove Area School District. This includes Tremont and Donaldson. This should be a photo ID. We do NOT ask for income verification. A $10 donation is requested to shop our space.

  • Yes, as we continue to grow, we continue to learn and occasionally have to make adjustments in order to serve as many people in our community as we can. Please read the “rules” for visiting Pathway below:

    1. We want Pathway to be a safe, comfortable place for people to shop. Disrespectful conduct while in the store will not be tolerated and will result in you being asked to leave and not return. This includes profanity, rudeness to volunteers or others, bullying, racism, not adhering to rules, etc.

    2. You may begin lining up outside the door AFTER 5:00 PM. Do not block the doorway. We will invite you into the store when a personal shopper and a shopping cart are available. In the event of bad weather, please plan accordingly.

    3. Be prepared to sign in and show valid proof of residency within the PGA school district and household information (# of adults/children) at every visit. We will not ask for income information.

    4. We request a $10 donation per household per visit. All donations must be paid in cash. No checks or debit cards.

    5. In order for us to help as many people as possible, you may take no more than one shopping cart full of items at each visit. A shopping cart must be used for shopping. Please bring your own bags, we’ll be happy to transfer items from the cart to your bags when you are done shopping.

    6. Please adhere to the quantity limit signs in the store. Again, this is so we can help as many people as possible.

    7. We have many items in the store and browsing is very tempting. But in order to get as many shoppers through the store when we are open, please try to shop as quickly as possible. If you are looking for certain items, let your personal shopper know and they can help you find them.

    8. Anyone caught selling items from the store will be banned from visiting the store in the future.

  • We are open the first and third Thursday of every month unless stated otherwise. Our shopping hours are from 6-8 pm.

  • PGA Pathway is unique because we are more than a food pantry. In our space, you will find non-perishable food and drinks, cleaning supplies, laundry items, health and beauty, personal care and hygiene items, baby products, and dog and cat food.

  • Giving a monetary donation is one of the best ways to support a mission you believe in! If 50 people donate just $15- 20 every month, our organization would become financially secure. Non-perishable food and household items can also be donated and dropped off at our drop off location on the porch of Serenity Too Salon. Items can also be purchased through our Amazon wishlist. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please message us to find out more details.
