Coatesville Salvation Army Opens New Pantry to the Public
The Chester County Food Bank is proud to partner with the Coatesville Salvation Army to expand access to nutritious food for Coatesville residents. This meaningful community partnership was made possible through the generous support of the Robert D. McNeil Fund of the Chester County Food Bank.
Through this project, the Food Bank contributed more than $70,000 in equipment, labor, and product, helped establish a satellite distribution location by providing a rent stipend, and continues to supply nearly 2,000 pounds of food each week. These investments will enable the Coatesville Salvation Army pantry to expand its operating hours to four days per week, creating greater access to food and support services for local neighbors.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this past week to celebrate the expansion and the collaboration that made it possible. Community members, Salvation Army and Chester County Food Bank staff, CCFB Board Members, Representative Dan Williams, and other local officials gathered to mark this important milestone.
We are grateful for our continued partnership with the Coatesville Salvation Army and remain committed to strengthening food access and supporting the Coatesville community for years to come.
