our impact
Over the years…
Against the backdrop of the past five years, the food bank has been a beacon of support in Derry Township. Challenges facing the nation during COVID resulted in additional government support which reduced the reliance on the food bank. As this support expired, need began to again grow. 2023 was a particularly challenging year for clients due to increasing food, housing and utility costs.
Our commitment to serving our neighbors remains steadfast. As we progress into 2024, the upward trajectory in the number of families served highlights both the ongoing challenges faced by our community and the enduring dedication of our food bank to making a positive impact in Hershey. Together, we navigate these uncertain times, ensuring that no family goes hungry.
