Virtual Food Drive

PA DHS Office of General Counsel

Give Help Now!


Welcome to our virtual food drive! Our office is excited to join the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank in the fight against hunger.  While it is disappointing that we won't be participating in the Holiday Wish Program this year, we have the opportunity to channel our office's generosity to help an agency that has seen a huge increase in demand since the beginning of the pandemic.  This food bank serves 27 counties, so while it does not reach out entire Commonwealth it impacts a large part of it. 

Since the start of the pandemic, the Food Bank has been gathering every possible resource to provide food and supplies to all who need it, but they continue to face a sharp increase in demand. 
 
More kids, parents, and seniors in our community are going hungry as a result of this ongoing crisis. Those who were already struggling face even greater challenges — not only to be fed, but to stay healthy. Nourishing food is the most basic need for our vulnerable neighbors. Your gift at this time is urgently needed and will help them:
 
  • Distribute crisis response boxes filled with healthy, non-perishable food across their network (crisis boxes include a flier on applying for SNAP)
  • Provide food boxes to homebound, at-risk seniors who can't leave home to purchase groceries
  • Deploy mobile food pantries to high-need areas of our community
  • Partner with schools to feed families who have lost access to school meals 
Please give now to help those struggling with hunger — and let them know they’re not alone. We will keep this drive open until December 31, 2020.  

We don’t know what the future holds, but we know your kindness is needed right now. Thank you!
