About this organization

About
Food pantry distribution program and agency relations. The core of Westmoreland County Food Bank's work is to acquire food to distribute to needy people throughout Westmoreland County through a network of member agencies comprised primarily of volunteer-run, faith-based organizations. While a number of our member agencies are soup kitchens, shelters and other on-site feeding programs, the majority of WCFB member agencies are food pantries that make up our food pantry distribution program. In 2018, WCFB distributed over 6 million pounds of food items through a network of 63 partner agencies. Each month, WCFB delivers food to our pantries in refrigerated trucks. The pantries then distribute the food to their income-eligible constituents. Approximately 31,000 households were served annually. In order to meet income eligibility requirements, family income must be at or below 150% of the federal poverty guidelines. In turn, WCFB regularly monitors pantries to ensure that IRS regulations and food safety/food handling regulations are met. Conversely, WCFB is regularly monitored by the state department.
