Wilson Area LINCS Food Pantry
The Wilson Area LINCS Coalition operates a food pantry that serves families in the Wilson Area Community who are experiencing food insecurity. Demand for this essential service has risen sharply—between 2022 and 2024, the number of individuals served by LINCS in Northampton County increased by 140%.
Our food pantry is stocked through partnerships with Second Harvest Food Bank and local retailers, including Giant and Aldi.

Warrior Bags
The Warrior Bag Program provides weekend lunch kits to students in the Wilson Area School District who are facing food insecurity. Every Friday LINCS delivers these meal bags to ensure children have access to nutritious food even when school is out.
In addition, families in the Warrior Bag program receive a full Thanksgiving Dinner, and the program is supported year-round by community donations of funds and non-perishable items.
📞 Please contact the guidance counselor at your child’s school to be added to the Warrior Bag distribution list.
Summer Program
The Summer Recreational Playground program operates for eight weeks during the summer to provide children entering 1st – 4th grades at Wilson Borough and Avona Elementary School areas a safe environment for play, exercise, and building of social skills. Games, organized sports, arts and crafts, reading, and social activities are featured. Children have both structured and unstructured play time. Participants are also provided snacks and lunch each day.
The goal of the summer playground is to provide a safe environment for children during the summer where parents can feel comfortable that their children are being supervised while experiencing fun, healthy activities and to provide an opportunity for all children, especially those typically underserved, to be physically active while also learning and practicing positive social skills.
The Wilson Area LINCS Coalition does not charge students or their families for this opportunity, but only a limited number of participants may attend.
