This is a food bank…read more Why give? Because they're working hard to get food into hungry people's hands. This is a mission. They have to break even, but this is a mission of theirs. It's worth supporting. 1. You may make a food donation, if you have something in quantity that is of good quality that you're ready to donate. 2. The second way to help is to give your time. They need help making up boxes (about 30 lbs per box of fresh food) that are distributed to needy persons up and down the east coast of the US and out into the middle of the country. 3. Give em some cash. They have to pay for all their utilities and their building and they have paid staff as well as volunteers. This food bank makes up food boxes that get distributed not just all over Lancaster County, but all over the eastern half of the country. They really help a LOT of people. You can make a difference helping them help others. Lancaster County is a special place. Blessings of Hope is part of what makes it special.

I just wanted to say for anybody interested, almost everything we brought home was outdated. My daughter got sick on something and we're not even sure what. If you decide to shop here, PLEASE check the dates on your items. Most of the things are over a year outdated. I don't know how they get away with that legally. I won't shop here again.

There were 42 of us all volunteering to create and pack boxes of assorted canned/packaged food for 1.5 hours, followed by a tour of the facility. The place is HUGE and feeds 1 million people annually and some 60 million meals. While I didn't stick around for the tour, I will volunteer again. It was a phenomenal and rewarding experience knowing we were preparing food to feed the food-insecure throughout the DMV.

If you've taken the Metro to Brookland, you'll pass a 123-square-foot distribution center. Along…read morethe railroad tracks in Michigan Park, Capital Area Food Bank started in 1980 on MLK's birthday, before MLK Day was a federal holiday, to help feed those who need it most in the D.C. area. Fast forward to today, Capital Area Food Bank feeds 60 million meals a year through direct distribution and non-profit partners. They are like the Costco of food banks where non-profits like Martha's Table get their meals to hand out locally. If you're looking for volunteer opportunities, Capital Area Food Bank hosts two groups a day Tuesday through Saturday to help organize food donated at their distribution center. It's a massive warehouse with heavy equipment so you have to be 12 and older to volunteer. Once inside and trained, you'll notice inspiring murals and art inside walking guests through the work. Outside is a working garden with an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven to help teach youth about nutrition. Capital Area Food Bank is making an impact on the D.C. area!

The Capital Area food bank offers an invaluable service to the area providing food for families in need. With the tough economics times the country finds itself in, it was encouraging to be part of good works. It also brought an awareness of the circumstances that people end up in a blink of an eye. It is great to know that their are everyday angels out their making a difference.....

I take note (well I "took note" is the proper English, sounds aggressive like, should that feel…read moreproper to use that English?) staff rarely eats the same food. Maybe because the location is *SMACK* between a jail and a strip club literally, must be funny to many, check Google Maps. Do not expect "Employment Center" to mean a job, welfare, or money, but there are free (and often religious) lectures. Staff does not eat with you during interview (my counselor actually literally laughed at the idea when I remembered other countries' support shelters, and said something to the effect of "We're not allowed to do that [eat with you for free]"). Staff *DOES* (*Warning* You will be proselytized multiple times at once, thank G-d for separation of Church and State in our great American idea of life caring and supportive government) evangelize religion in code. Staff speaks English and A.A.V.E. and Broken English and other languages, some staff (diverse, White, Black, Yellow, Cyan, Red, Green, Blue people too) even points instead of talking. If you can handle being given religious booklets, wait by the shelter or along Fallsway Rd and other religious people will give you food and abbreviatorily-predatory bibles looking like Bibles but mostly blasting adverts.
