CATHOLIC HARVEST FOOD PANTRY

The Catholic Harvest Food Pantry operates from the building located at 628 E. Market St. in the City of York. A local York family contributed a significant amount of money to help us purchase this facility. Since 1996, the four York Catholic Churches of St. Joseph, St. Mary, St. Patrick and St. Rose support the Food Pantry. Each month, one of the parishes conducts a food drive, which represents approximately 60% of the food we distribute. The remaining 40% comes to us through the York County Food Bank.

In addition, the four parishes help financially with special envelopes and collections specifically for the operation of the Food Pantry. The Catholic Harvest Food Pantry has grown to be the largest Food Pantry in York County. In year 2000, over 16,000 men, women and children came to our door requesting emergency food.

The Food Pantry operates Monday through Friday evenings and also distributes food on the 1st and 3rd Thursday mornings. We are fortunate to have over 150 volunteers committed to the Food Pantry.

Over the years, we have been blessed with food and monetary contributions from many local churches, schools, scout troops and businesses. During the past six months, we are now offering clothing items to our clients and their families. This extra service is greatly appreciated by those in need.
