Schuylkill Community Action - Schuylkill Food Network
Supports and empowers communities across Schuylkill County in providing food to residents in need. This is achieved through the coordination of public and private resources for local food distribution. Local volunteers operate 20 food pantries throughout the county. While each pantry runs independently, all are committed members of the Schuylkill Food Network. If pantry services are too far away or a household is without food, residents can contact this office for Emergency Food assistance.
