Second Harvest Military Food Share Distribution
February 24, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
In northwest Pennsylvania, nearly 18% of households receiving food assistance have at least one member who has served in the military. Military Share, a Produce Express Program of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania, is designed to provide fresh, nutritious foods for families with at least one member who has served in the armed forces. For the convenience and privacy of the individuals and families served, Military Share distributions take place on-site at VA Medical Centers, Veterans of Foreign Wars facilities, and at armories throughout Second Harvest’s 11-county service area.
Military Share is funded exclusively by donations. While requests to include specific items in a distribution may impact the cost, you can sponsor a military family for just $15. To learn how you or your organization can sponsor a Military Share distribution in your community, please contact Manager of Programs Gerry Weiss by email at gweiss@nwpafoodbank.org or by phone at 814-459-3663 ext. 120.
