Thank You ACME Markets Foundation & their Nourishing Neighbors Foundation for the generous donation of $120,000 in grocery gift cards! The grocery cards will be distributed through our network of hunger-relief partners.

“Higher prices at the grocery store are causing more people to need the services of CCFB and our network of partners,” said Andrea Youndt, CEO of the Chester County Food Bank. “The gift cards will enable our food cupboard partners to purchase most needed items for their pantry or enable a social service partner that may only do a limited grocery box distribution to give a grocery card to a client so that they can select items of their choosing.”

This year's observance of Older Americans Month (May) is themed "Age My Way" and is an opportunity for all of us to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved with their communities.

Programs like our Simple Suppers and partnership with Meals on Wheels of Chester County deliver nutritious meals, friendly visits, and safety checks to individuals, predominantly older adults. These programs can enable homebound individuals to remain in their homes yet still receive nutritious meals when cooking for themselves may not be possible. Learn more about these programs chestercountyfoodbank.org/programs-education/kitchen/meals-on-wheels/ ... See MoreSee Less
