October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Both cancer and its treatment put a lot of stress on the body. It is estimated that anywhere from 17% to 55% of patients with cancer are affected by food insecurity, which is defined as the lack of continuous access to nutritious foods in the amounts needed for a recovering and healthy life. For food-insecure patients, a diagnosis of cancer poses special challenges. Food-insecure patients lack the flexibility in food purchasing and preparation that can mitigate common cancer-related symptoms like anorexia, parosmia, dysgeusia, nausea, diarrhea, and dysphagia. For this month, follow us for more information on the impacts of food insecurity and breast cancer patients and how we can help. #breastcancerawareness #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #foodinsecurity ...

Today, we are highlighting our Mobile Market program! The Mobile Market program is our latest innovation that we are so excited to share. Those most likely to experience food insecurity are minorities, seniors, families that live in isolated rural communities, and residents with disabilities. Lack of transportation also increases food insecurity rates. The Mobile Market will travel to low-income housing, senior high rises, senior centers, college campuses and many other locations where those in need of food can be found. This program will offer produce and other staple items, directly from the truck, similar to a farmer’s market style set up, where neighbors can choose items that they wish to use. Mobile Market is eliminating barriers, providing fresh healthy foods, and delivering an end to hunger in Westmoreland. #westmorelandcounty #HungerActionMonth #TakeAction #mobilemarket #mobilemarketing ...

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, is a federal program that helps households purchase food at the grocery store. Those who are eligible receive an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card which works like a debit card to make food purchases. The Westmoreland Food Bank assists individuals applying for this nutrition assistance program. To learn more, please visit westmorelandfoodbank.org. #HungerActionMonth #takeaction ...

The Summer Meal Program and Weekend Backpack Program work hand in hand throughout the year to ensure that children have the nutritious meals they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Each June through August, the Summer Meal Program helps ensure that young children continue to have access to nutritious foods outside of the school year. This summer over 500 children were served at community sites. When the school week is over, children are provided with a backpack containing two breakfasts, two lunches, and two snacks—ensuring they won’t experience hunger during the weekend. The Food Bank’s Backpack program reaches into 15 schools in the county, serving over 550 children. The Backpack program operates solely on grants and community support.

Our boxes are purchased through a grant. 93 cents of every dollar goes back to our neighbors in need.
You do wonderful work and an occasional bad potato is just that an occasional bad potato it happens what’s the saying one bad apple….
Can anyone explain what the cost of your cardboard boxes embossed with “Westmoreland County Food Bank” is vs. why clients get rotten potatoes in their boxes?
