About This Organization

HungerFreePenn_logoHunger-Free Pennsylvania (HFPA) has spent the past 33 years connecting food banks across Pennsylvania and working to find excess food. HFPA also advocates for policies that prevent hunger in the Commonwealth and represents 19 member food banks in all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. In addition, to the food banks, HFPA sponsors the Pennsylvania Hunger Action Coalition which is comprised of 70 statewide and regional organizations mobilizing them to influence state policies of federal programs to better serve the low-income working families in Pennsylvania. HFPA advocates for adequate funding through The State Food Purchase Program and Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System, which provides cash grants to help charitable organizations acquire and distribute millions of pounds of food to hungry families. The organization operates the federal Commodity Supplemental Food Program in the commonwealth, which leverages government buying power to provide nutritious monthly food packages to 36,200 low-income seniors age 60 and older.
