The St. Matthew Food Pantry operates two days per week serving clients from the west side of York. Thirty-one volunteers who pack groceries and greet the clients staff the pantry. In 2005. we served a total of 543 families (731 children, 831 adults and 72 seniors). This corresponds to over 11,000 meals!

If you need help with food, diapers or formula, call the York County Food Pantry Clearinghouse at 846-8899.

A portion of the food for the pantry is obtained from the State Food Purchase Program and the Federal Emergency Food Assistance Program. Some supplies are purchased from vendors with monetary donations we receive from members of the congregation through contribution and pew envelopes. The remaining supplies come from participation in the US Postal Workers Food Drive, The Harvest Home Collection, The Boy Scout Good Turn for America Food Drive, Crop Walk proceeds and private companies and individuals that collect food and donate to our food pantry. If you would like to donate food items, contact the church office.
