Ending hunger by providing nutritious food, fostering community collaboration, and advancing innovative solutions.

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank is a nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger in 27 central Pennsylvania counties. An affiliate of Feeding America and Feeding Pennsylvania, we partner with nearly 1,100 local agencies to provide nutritious food, build community collaboration, and advance innovative solutions.

Since opening our doors in 1982 in a converted movie theater in Steelton, we have grown into a multi-hub food distribution organization grounded in strategic infrastructure and community impact. In 1994, following a successful $1.5 million capital campaign, we moved into our purpose-built warehouse in Harrisburg. That facility expanded in 2012 to 75,000 square feet, enhancing our capacity to deliver fresh, healthy food.

In 2002, we added a second Healthy Food Hub in Williamsport to better serve the northern tier of our territory, and that facility underwent a major expansion in 2016 to support deeper rural reach and partner growth.

In 2025, we opened the Hollidaysburg Healthy Food Hub in the Allegheny Mountain region, to serve Blair, Bedford, Centre, Clearfield, Fulton, Huntingdon, and Mifflin counties. This new hub boosts healthy food distribution, expands cold-storage capacity, and strengthens our ability to source local food for communities that have faced persistent gaps in access.

In addition to the three hubs, the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank operates the Northern Dauphin Food Pantry. The pantry, located in Elizabethville, provides critical food assistance to neighbors throughout upper Dauphin County.

Today, our three Healthy Food Hubs in Harrisburg, Williamsport, and Hollidaysburg work together to form the largest food bank in central Pennsylvania to ensure that nutritious food reaches every corner of central Pennsylvania. Through continued investment in facilities, partnerships, and innovative programs, we are building a stronger, more nourished region.
