About us
The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank has been dedicated to ending hunger for more than 30 years. The Food Bank started as a one-day demonstration project on World Food Day in 1981, and to address the needs of hungry families, began permanent operation on October 16, 1982. Originally, the Food Bank was located in a converted movie theater in Steelton. The Food Bank initiated a capital campaign, raising 1.5 million dollars directed to the construction of a brand new warehouse. Then, in 1994, the Food Bank relocated to its current facility in Harrisburg. Mission: Fighting hunger, improving lives, strengthening communities. At the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, we live our mission every day. It is our passion. We truly believe no one should be hungry and we are committed to working harder every day to make that belief a reality. We trust that the healthy food we distribute is an investment in our community, providing hope for families who are trying to build a brighter future and otherwise would lack fuel to succeed. What We Do: Serving 27 counties, the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank is the largest nonprofit food distribution organization in central PA. The Food Bank solicits, inventories and distributes food and other donated products to more than 1000 partner agencies (food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, etc.) directly serving our neighbors in need. The Food Bank distributed more than 50 million nutritious meals through our partner networks over the past year. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank is part of the Feeding America and Feeding Pennsylvania network of food banks.

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank was delighted to host a food distribution site at Representative Sturla and Representative Smith-Wade-El's 13th Annual Back to School Event at the Lancaster Stormer's Stadium on Sunday August 18th. During the event, we distributed over 1400 bags of food to families attending the event as they prepare to send their kids back to school. A huge thanks to all partners involved in making this event a success! #foodbank #centralpafb #nonprofit

For August’s Policy Blog, CPFB Impact and Policy Research takes a deep dive into Feeding America’s most recent Map the Meal Gap estimates for our service territory. Unfortunately, food insecurity rose almost 30% across the region in 2022 because of the expiration of key government investments, most notably the expanded Child Tax Credit. To read more about the food insecurity landscape across central Pennsylvania, including analysis of food insecurity rates and number of food insecure individuals by county, child food insecurity by county, and food insecurity rates by race/ethnicity, check out the full report! https://lnkd.in/eFe6CGRZ

Seeing firsthand the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank's impact in the community and the enthusiasm and support of The GIANT Company's team members, Chief financial officer of The GIANT Company, Rebecca Lupfer, knew being involved on the board of directors was something she was immediately interested in. Rebecca states that "Being nimble and creative has served the [Food Bank] well and this mindset has led to it being counted among the leaders in this space not only in Pennsylvania but the entire charitable food system, and help it achieve its goals." We are so grateful to have Rebecca on our board and can't wait to see the continued positive impact that she has on our mission in the upcoming years. #foodbank #nonprofit #centralpafb
