In Chester County, just like in many parts of the country, many people are navigating a precarious balancing act - making tough choices between basic necessities such as buying groceries, covering rent, or seeking medical care.

This Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week, November 11 -18, join the Chester County Food Bank and a community network of organizations throughout Chester County that are fighting to change this reality in our community.

The Chester County Food Bank is seeing a nearly 30% increase in demand for food, yet food and financial donations have decreased by more than 25% year over year.

The Chester County Department of Community Development saw an eight percent increase in people experiencing homelessness from 2022 according to their Point-In-time count.

⭐️ Happy Veteran's Day ⭐️Please take a moment today to honor our veterans and remember those who've given their all.

Unfortunately, the struggles faced by some of our heroes extend beyond their military service. Many veterans find themselves grappling with food insecurity and experiencing homelessness.

Though we provide support to veterans through dozens of our partner sites, our most targeted efforts take place in partnership with the Coatesville VA Medical Center and White Hall Apartments, a veteran housing site. We support veterans at these sites through prepared meals, on-site gardens, our fruit & vegetable prescription program, and more.

Learn more about how we serve veterans at https://chestercountyfoodbank.org/our-approach/community-agency-network/organizations-for-older-adults/

In addition to distributing the fixings for Thanksgiving meals, we also offer a “heat and eat” meal. These meals are a great option for homebound neighbors or seniors who may not be able to (or don’t want to cook) a whole bird 🦃

Our friends from Kistler-Tiffany Advisors
kicked off the Thanksgiving Meals with their generous KTA Funding Hope financial support enabling us to prepare 3000 meals for our neighbors.

🌍💧 On this World Food Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the vital role that water plays in our lives and the food we enjoy. 💧🌍

Water makes up over 50% of our bodies and covers about 71% of the Earth's surface. Water is a driving force for people, economies and nature and the foundation of our food. But like all natural resources, fresh water is not infinite.

🥕 🌼CCFB strives to be good stewards of our host Mother Earth. By choosing local, seasonal, and fresh foods, minimizing our waste, composting when applicable, practicing sustainable farming practices - we want to do our part for the future of food, people, and the planet.

Let's work together to create communities where access to clean water and nutritious food is a reality for everyone. 💧🥦

Did you know…. CCFB has a Community Kitchen as part of its operations. 🍳

The 2500 sq ft Community Kitchen supports our mission by creating nutritious prepared meals that we get to neighbors in several ways:

🚗 Hot Meals are delivered weekdays through our partnership with Meals on Wheels of Chester County

🚚 Sunshine Meals are our frozen “heat & eat” meals that are distributed to our community agency network (for example food cupboards and senior centers) for distribution to neighbors. ☀️This includes a Summer Meal program for kids when school meal program are not in session.

🏠 Simple Suppers are heat and eat meals that are delivered on a rotating schedule to homebound neighbors.

🧑‍🍳Our Kitchen also serves as the hands-on classroom for our FRESHstart Kitchen culinary arts workforce development training program. Working with individuals that have a barrier to employment we provide a free 10 week culinary training to help them establish a career with a livable wage.

The secret ingredient in our kitchen… awesome volunteers like Brock & Company, Inc. that tie on an apron and help us create nutritious meals to nourish neighbors. 🙌

Today is World Mental Health Day. 💚At CCFB, we believe a profound connection exists between mental well-being and the food we consume. Food isn't just sustenance for the body; it's also nourishment for the soul and the mind.
When we prioritize wholesome, nutritious meals, we're not only caring for our physical health but also bolstering our mental resilience.

🥦Just as we come together to provide food for those in need, we should also come together to support one another through life's emotional challenges. Access to nutritious food is not just a basic necessity; it's a fundamental right that directly impacts mental well-being. When we work together to ensure that everyone has access to wholesome meals, we are not just nourishing bodies but also upholding the universal right to good mental health.

💚Let's use this day to show empathy and support to those who may be struggling with their mental health. Reach out, lend a listening ear, and let them know they are not alone. Let's also remember that seeking help is a courageous step, and it's a right that everyone should exercise without fear or shame.

🥦Let's remember that nourishing our minds and bodies is an ongoing journey, and it's perfectly okay to seek help when needed. By fostering a community that supports mental health and by continuing to provide nutritious food to those facing food insecurity, we can create a brighter, healthier future for all.

💚If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call 9-8-8.
If you are in need of food assistance, visit https://chestercountyfoodbank.org/find-help/food-finder/ or call CCFB 610-873-6000
