May is #MilitaryAppreciationMonth and one of our warehouse workers, Brian, proudly served in the U.S Air Force from June 16th, 1986-2008. Brian remembers how proud he felt to swear in his allegiance to the United States. We asked Brian a few questions about his time serving our country.
Were any of your kids born internationally?
Brian and his wife-"My youngest son was born in Germany and automatically received a dual citizenship. My wife felt that is was hard being away from family.” Brian’s wife- “We had to lean on each other and we grew into a tight knit family. We grew closer to God. We missed our family, we missed going out on dates, spending time with family for holidays and birthdays and special occasions and watching our boys grow up not knowing their grandparents."
What are some things you remember about adapting to military life?
Brian-"Adapting to military life was actually quite easy. Everyone was there to help one another and we all had each other’s backs. Getting out was the hardest, going into a man eat man society.
How did you imagine military life before you joined? How did your perception change after serving?
Brian-“I imagined military life as it truly was. Close knit, family structure with honesty, discipline, hard work, and pride for doing your job. My perception never really changed- never will. “Duty, Honor, Country.”
What is your favorite memory from serving?
Brian-“My favorite memory would be living 3 years in Germany. It’s a beautiful country. My family grew to be a tight knit unit and I enjoyed my kids growing up there.”
How do you think your time in the military affected you?
Brian-“You learn structure, integrity, duty, honor, respect, sense of purpose, loyalty, trust, and a love for your country. All of these, you will never lose or forget.”
Brian’s definition of a veteran: “A person who wrote a blank check, payable to the United States of America for an amount up to and including one’s own life”
Thank you Brian for taking your time to speak on your experience and thank you for serving our country. #militarylife #westmorelandcounty ... See MoreSee Less

May is also is #mentalhealthawareness month and we know how food insecurity can affect mental health and it is our mission to end food insecurity. Food insecurity is the lack of sufficient food in quantity and/or quality. Psychological distress includes mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Food insecurity is associated with a 257% higher risk of anxiety and a 253% higher risk of depression. These are not small numbers. The truth is that when a person cannot get enough nutritive food to eat, they’ll almost always experience feelings of profound despair. This is even more true when they have children or other loved ones to care for. Let's end food insecurity in the County. #mentalhealthmatters #foodsecurityforall #westmorelandcounty ...

The sad fact is some food donated is many years outside the recommended expiration date. Yes, most food items are still good after the date but we have received donations that have to be thrown away. 😢
Don't forget to donate during our Stamp Out Hunger event on Saturday, May 13th. postal service workers and volunteers will be collecting food donations at your door to help people and families in need. Be sure to package food in bags or boxes! #communityfirst #foodrive #westmorelandcounty ... See MoreSee Less

Today County Commissioner Doug Chew, Jon Wian (Sean Kertes' Chief of Staff), and our Board of Directors came together to celebrate our staff. Last week we received the 2023 Network Celebration Award for Recognizing Excellence in Strenghening Communities from Feeding America. Westmoreland Food Bank was recognized for its work with government officials to ensure food assistance services remained open to the residents of Pennsylvania during the pandemic. Yesterday, we also passed a very intensive AIB audit of our warehouse and facility (more on that soon!). Thank you to our CEO, Jennifer Miller, for organizing such a wonderful celebration! ...
