Distributing Nutritious Food & Promoting Health
The Weinberg Food Bank prioritizes health by offering more than just shelf-stable goods. It focuses on distributing fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and dairy products to improve nutrition for all, especially vulnerable groups like seniors and children. Seasonal outreach includes after-school and summer meal programs and a large Thanksgiving distribution to ensure families can enjoy a holiday meal.
Community Action & Volunteer Opportunities
The food bank offers multiple ways to get involved. Community members can donate online, by phone or by mail. Hosting a Facebook fundraiser or holding a virtual food drive further amplifies support by using the food bank’s purchasing power. Volunteers are always welcome to help pack and organize food for delivery across the four-county region.
CEO/Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank continues to serve as a vital resource for food access, nutritional support and community collaboration throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.
