Every day, 1 in 10 people in Chester County goes without food!

1 in 10 people in Chester County miss meals due to lack of money to buy food. It’s the mom feeding her kids oatmeal for dinner every night at the end of the month. It’s the senior making the can of soup with twice as much water to make it last longer. The work of the Chester County Food Bank is to bring food to our neighbors in need.
