SERVICES

Fresh Express

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank receives millions of pounds of fresh produce and dairy products from local and national donors. Since these products have a short shelf life, the Food Bank takes the perishable products directly to those who can use them. The food is dropped off at both our Chambersburg and Waynesboro offices and distributed directly to our residents and participants. Depending on the harvest season, the Food Bank distributes a variety of items such as potatoes, onions, lettuce, apples, strawberries, and yogurt. They also distribute a variety of staple items such as milk, cheese, eggs, noodles and more!

Fresh Express is held the last Tuesday of every month. Changes have been made to both distribution sites due to COVID 19 restrictions. In Chambersburg, the distribution begins at 9 AM and residents are allotted a time block through 11 AM beside FCHA's Main Office. In Waynesboro, the distribution begins at 10:30 AM until 12 PM at FCHA's Waynesboro Office. Click here for our COVID 19 guidelines >>>

Any individual or family can sign up for the Fresh Express program. Registration forms can be picked up at the Chambersburg or Waynesboro main offices. Residents and participants are encouraged to bring your own bags, containers or carts in order to collect the food being distributed.
