FOOD PANTRY

Bernardine Center’s food cupboard supplies nutritious food to eligible families.
If a family of four has a net monthly income less than $57,720, the family qualifies for our supplemental food program.

 The Center serves approximately 450 persons each month.

The Bernardine Center receives a portion of its food supply from government sources while a much of  itsfood is donated by area churches, organizations and individuals by way of actual in-kind food or monetary donations.

The Bernardine Center was a founding member of Delaware County Interfaith Food Assistance Network (DIFAN)
consisting of twelve food pantries which efficiently and cooperatively serve about
400,000 persons annually.
Today Bernardine Center participates as a member of SHARE food pantry system.

Dedicated volunteers assist our staff in distributing food to families.
