Hunger affects our neighbors, families, and communities every day. Throughout the 27 counties served by the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, 1 in 8 individuals and 1 in 5 children face hunger.

But we know that ending hunger takes more than food alone. It takes neighbors, community partners, volunteers, donors and advocates working together to create a stronger network of support.

That’s what Nourishing Neighbors Together is all about.

This September, during Hunger Action Month, we join Feeding America, food banks and communities across the country to raise awareness about food insecurity and inspire action. Here in central Pennsylvania, we’re working alongside local partners to make it easier for neighbors in need to access fresh, nutritious food while helping communities find new ways to address hunger and build a stronger future.

Every action matters. When we collaborate with community partners, speak up for change, treat every neighbor with dignity, and strengthen the network of organizations working to end hunger, we move closer to a Pennsylvania where everyone has enough to eat.

This Hunger Action Month, join us in nourishing our neighbors together.

You can make a difference by donating, volunteering, partnering, or advocating. As a community, we can help ensure our neighbors have access to the nutritious food they need and create stronger, healthier communities for everyone.
