UNITED IS THE WAY TO A HEALTHIER ADAMS COUNTY

When we talk about creating a healthier Adams County, food insecurity is one of the key issues we want to address. Many of our neighbors will reduce the quality or quantity of their meals this year, and our local food programs are feeling the strain trying to keep up with the demand. Our Bag the Bounty fall food drive is one way to get involved and help a neighbor this fall. For more information on food insecurity in Adams County and the ways in which we can improve our local, charitable food system, check out the Adams County Community Hunger Mapping Report from the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank!
