About this user

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank has been dedicated to ending hunger for 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 one and a half million dollars directed to the construction of a brand new warehouse. Then, in 1994, the Food Bank relocated to its current facility in Harrisburg.

Since 1995, the Food Banks distribution of food donations in Pennsylvania has increased by approximately 70 percent. To accommodate growing operations, the Food Bank added 15,000 square feet to its facility to increase dry storage and freezer and refrigeration space. The Food Banks current 43,000 square foot warehouse is almost 40 percent larger than the original Steelton facility.

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank is an independent entity with a Board of Directors consisting of community volunteers. The Food Bank is also a member of Americas Second Harvest-The Nations Food Bank Network, comprised of more than 200 food banks and food-rescue programs.
