The Westmoreland County Food Bank is a private, not-for-profit organization that supplies food to hungry people through a network of food assistance programs in Westmoreland County. Our 40,000 square foot facility is located in Delmont, Pennsylvania. Of each dollar donated to WCFB, $.97 goes to food and food programs. We serve over 7,000 disadvantaged families each month throughout Westmoreland County.


Why We're Here
WCFB front door

Hunger and food insecurity are serious problems in America and throughout Westmoreland County. For the eighteen thousand people who need charitable food assistance each month in Westmoreland County, hunger shows no bias:

  • 34 % are children
  • 13% are seniors
  • 53% are the working poor or disabled
What We Do
OFE1

By acquiring food through local donations and government food assistance programs (State Food Purchase Grant and The Emergency Food Assistance Program), WCFB is able to serve the community in several ways:

  • We provide food to meal programs, soup kitchens, food pantries, emergency shelters and child care programs
  • We provide the means for donors to put their food to good use while gaining tax credits
  • We keep perfectly good food that can't be sold (because of damaged packaging or a close code date) from becoming garbage in land fills

We believe that by pooling together all of the community resources, we can make a significant difference in the fight against hunger.
