Central Pennsylvania Food Bank (CPFB) will launch another virtual food drive. The virtual food drive is an online tool allowing individuals and organizations to raise funds to help the CPFB purchase and distribute large quantities of fresh, nutritious, and shelf-stable healthy foods at deeply reduced rates. Every dollar raised through the virtual food drive will help the food bank distribute more than six healthy meals to those in need throughout 27 central Pennsylvania counties.
CPFB is currently serving more than 200,000 individuals per month through its network of 1,000 partner agencies and programs, and it distributes more than 1.3 million pounds of food per week. Hosting a virtual food drive allows community members to reach more of these individuals by helping the food bank purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and proteins, in addition to nonperishable food items.
Readers interested in starting a virtual food drive on behalf of the CPFB are encouraged to visit http://www.centralpafoodbank.org. Instructions for setting up a drive can be found under the Ways to Give tab. For additional details, readers may contact vfd@centralpafoodbank.org or 717-564-1700.
