“I give to the Food Hub because I love to see the joy and relief on people’s faces when they receive what they need to help make ends meet, and when they feel welcomed and safe after being afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. I’m so grateful for the volunteers and staff members who make things happen every day!”
– Paige, Executive Director

Adjust the lens, focus your impact, and remember the Food Hub for the #ExtraGive on November 22nd! 💗 lancasterfoodhub.org/extragive

Because of your incredible support, the Food Hub c

Because of your incredible support, the Food Hub connected with more families in 2023 than ever before. This year, there has already been a 30% increase in families seeking assistance, reflecting the struggles many face with rising food costs, escalating housing prices, and everyday challenges.

The reality is that anyone can find themselves in difficult circumstances. Families in Lancaster are navigating unique hardships, often forced to make tough choices between rent, medicine, childcare, and the basic needs of food and clothing. These struggles remind us that we must rethink and challenge the myths surrounding poverty and homelessness.

We could not have met this increased demand without our amazing volunteers and generous donors. Your dedication and compassion have amplified the voices of those who are often overlooked. Together, we are creating pathways for families to transition from hardship to hope and from instability to progress.

Thank you for making Lancaster a more caring and compassionate place for all! 💖

Remember the Food Hub on November 22nd!

The face of poverty in Lancaster County continues

The face of poverty in Lancaster County continues to change and grow, and the demand for supportive services is rising. This morning, during service hours, the reality was clear — a line of neighbors stretched from our door to the edge of the parking lot, waiting for help.

These could be the people you see every day:
☕ Your barista at your favorite coffee shop
👩‍👧‍👦 The single mom with three kids in your child’s class
🤝 A friend who recently lost their job

❤️ #ExtraGive is 1 WEEK AWAY! Mark your calendar for November 22nd and support the Food Hub. Together, we can uplift our community with the basics!
