Helping Harvest (formerly known as Greater Berks Food Bank) has continued to successfully fulfill its mission “to feed the hungry” since opening in 1983. In our first year, 500,000 pounds of food was distributed to 12 food assistance programs to provide nourishment for the low income sector of our community. Today, we provide food and other resources to 300 partner agencies in our two county service area. This network consists of traditional food assistance programs such as food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. Additionally, we operate several highly effective direct service programs. As the sole distribution center for food assistance in Berks and Schuylkill Counties, Helping Harvest is vital to the health of our community, housing an ever-rotating inventory of refrigerated, fresh, and frozen foods as well as other grocery store items. Annually, Helping Harvest provides nearly 10 million pounds of nourishment to people in need, and to the organizations that provide service to them. Food from our distribution center nourishes over 110,000 individuals throughout Berks and Schuylkill Counties each year.

We are so grateful for GIANT and their partnership! Giant is so generous to food banks! They donated turkeys, volunteered in the warehouse, did an in-store food collection AND they will allow you to donate your free turkey certificate in-store so that Helping Harvest receives the funds. THANK YOU GIANT for all that you do to help our neighbors who are facing food insecurity.

We truly appreciate all that GIANT does to help feed our hungry neighbors! Donate non-perishable items to your local GIANT thru 10/27. A collection bin will be located at the front of the store and all donations benefit Helping Harvest locally. You can also donate your FREE turkey certificate to Helping Harvest! If you're not using it this year, you can either redeem a frozen turkey and drop it off at Helping Harvest or donate the certificate in-store. At the end of the redemption period, a monetary donation will be made. Certificates (online or paper) can be redeemed from 11/15-11/28.
