In Northwest Pennsylvania, nearly 25% of households receiving food assistance have at least one member who has served or is serving in the military. Second Harvest Food Bank of NW PA wants to help military families who are struggling to put nutritious food on the table.

The Produce Express Military Share truck will be at the Erie VA Medical Center on Monday, November 6th at 5:00 pm to distribute free, fresh produce and grocery items to National Guard, Reservists, Active Military, Veterans, and their families in need. The truck will be parked at the Erie VA Medical Center (135 E 38th St, Erie). 

Advanced Registration is required. To see if you qualify or if you have any questions, call Sandra Luthringer at the VA at 1-800-274-8387 ext. 2780 or Cindy Plymyer at Second Harvest Food Bank at (814) 459-3663 ext. 103.
