CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. \u2014 The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank is setting its sights on the future with the announcement of its 2030 Strategic Plan on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The organization and more than 150 south-central Pennsylvania partners gathered at Penn Harris Hotel and Convention Center in East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County, to introduce the new plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Officials say the plan focuses on going beyond providing short-term hunger relief and seeks to build lasting change. The food bank says it can accomplish that mission by maintaining strong relationships with its partnering agencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We really placed an emphasis on the neighbor experience and making sure agencies have what they need. So, [we’re] learning from agencies and what they’re looking for to put on their shelves,” said Shila Ulrich, with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.<\/p>\n
The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank distributes more than 60 million pounds of food to more than half a million people across a 27-county service area each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The organization and more than 150 central Pa. partners gathered at Penn Harris Hotel and Convention Center in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306985,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-306984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306984\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
