Our Team

Shippensburg Produce and Outreach feeds over 400 families per week with the help of volunteers, donors and partners throughout the Shippensburg Area School District.
There is no single solution to hunger and food insecurity, but there are immediate steps and long-term strategies that can help make a real impact in the Shippensburg community. By coming together and addressing the issue of food poverty, we are also strengthening the hunger safety for future generations by improving access to healthy, nutritious food resources.
