Our Mission
We mobilize our community to ensure access to real, healthy food.
Fronting the Fight Against Hunger
The Chester County Food Bank was formed in 2009 to address the escalating hunger problem in the county. Our primary goal was, and still is, to have a viable, sustainable organization that secures, manages, and distributes food to those in need.
Today, we are the central hunger relief organization serving more than 160 partner agencies in Chester County, PA. Through our network of food cupboards, hot meal sites, shelters, and other social service organizations, we distribute nearly 3.5 million pounds to our neighbors with limited or uncertain access to adequate food.
We are, however, more than food drives that put cans on shelves. We take a steadfast approach to provide food and build support in the neediest communities while raising awareness and engagement among our community.
Our Vision
A food secure Chester County.
