Supporting Our Neighbors: How Local Nonprofits Address Food Insecurity in Lancaster

At Gifts That Give Hope, we believe that every person deserves dignity, nourishment, and care. That’s why we are proud to feature two of our nonprofit partners—Lancaster County Food Hub and Meals on Wheels of Lancaster—at the 18th Annual Gift Fair. Both of these organizations are making a powerful impact in addressing food insecurity right here in Lancaster, PA. 

Lancaster County Food Hub: Meeting Needs With Dignity

The Lancaster County Food Hub has been serving the community since 1947, working tirelessly to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Their programs go far beyond simply handing out food. By offering free clothing, emergency shelter, and vital support services, the Food Hub provides hope and dignity to individuals and families during their most difficult times.

Their free food pantry is a lifeline for thousands of Lancaster residents, helping families stretch their budgets while ensuring that nutritious meals make it to the table. Every visit is met with compassion and respect, because at the Food Hub, neighbors are treated like family.

Meals on Wheels of Lancaster: Delivering More Than a Meal

For homebound individuals, seniors, and those recovering from illness, access to healthy food can be a challenge. That’s where Meals on Wheels of Lancaster steps in. With a dedicated team of volunteers, they deliver not only fresh, nutritious meals but also human connection and care.

Each knock on the door is more than a delivery— it’s a moment of kindness, a safety check, and a reminder to clients that they are not alone. Their service helps thousands of Lancaster residents remain independent in their own homes while receiving the nourishment they need. Spend a day with Mr. Bill Hower, a Meals on Wheels client.
