To our produce contributors:

Dear Friends,

We want to thank everyone who contributed homegrown produce to the West Chester Food Cupboard this past year.  We are so grateful for the delicious and nutritious fruit and vegetables that kept coming and coming, despite the wild weather we have experienced this growing season.

We all know how important it is for everyone to have fresh produce as part of their daily diet.  The clients who come here for supplementary food each month certainly loved receiving it.

Please know that we understand how much hard work goes into planting, growing, weeding, watering and harvesting a garden and we thank you so much for all that hard work on our behalf.  This year’s periods of very hot weather followed by the incredible rainy weather must have taxed even the most experienced gardeners!

We continue to see more and more people in West Chester who are struggling to make ends meet.  Thanks to the kindness of people like you, who believe as we do that no one should go hungry and that there is enough food for everyone, we are confident that we will continue to be able to meet their needs in the days ahead.
