Our Thanks
There are so many people and companies and organizations that play a key role in supporting the efforts of the Chester County Food Bank. Without them, we would not be able to keep doing the great work of helping to feed hungry people in our area. Our deepest thanks to these organizations that have donated time and resources to the food bank.
Penn Container of Landenburg PA, is providing all of our food drive boxes this holiday season. www.penncontainer.com
