Overview
Mission
We operate this food bank because we believe that we are all created to help one another and what we do for each other has meaning and creates the basis for our tomorrows.

The organization promotes health, nutrition, human dignity and potential through the charitable distribution of food products to needy families and individuals in the Pennsylvania municipalities of columbia, west hempfield township, manor township and mountville.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
