The West Chester Food Cupboard commits to provide a variety of fresh and nonperishable healthy food items to West Chester residents in need…because no one should go hungry!
The number of volunteers increased as did donations as the community responded generously to the needs of low-income West Chester residents, who were struggling to feed themselves and their families.
In the summer of 2017, having definitely outgrown our old premises on E. Gay Street, the volunteers decided to move. We were lucky enough to find 431 S. Bolmar Street – a great location with twice the space, and a wonderfully welcoming place for clients to shop.
The Cupboard is still 100% volunteer run with no paid staff. Currently there is a ten-person Board of Directors, a Lead Volunteer Team of twenty five, and over 200 volunteers, who willingly carry out a myriad of tasks.
The mission of the Cupboard has stayed the same, providing a variety of fresh and nonperishable food to West Chester residents in need and can be summed up by the slogan on everyone’s t-shirts:
“…because no one should go hungry!”
