Access to Food

Emergency Food Assistance is Available through Central Pennsylvania Food Bank Network. The agency partners of the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank are providing groceries, take-out meals and a dose of hope to people in need. Alternative distributions are scheduled at many different locations with significant precautionary procedures in place to protect clients, staff and volunteers. People who are hungry and families that rely on food assistance should still seek help when they need it. Visit the “Find Food” page on www.centralpafoodbank.org to find the closest program or call 717-547-6336 for information.

The York County Food Bank is committed to making sure all of our neighbors have access to enough food during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

As the COVID-19 situation intensifies daily, the York County Food Bank is facing an unprecedented challenge to support our food insecure neighbors, as well as actively preparing to support those who may now be facing hunger as a result of lost hours, wages or jobs.
