Ascendance Idealease, based in Harrisburg, PA, recently volunteered with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank to package meals for families in need. On Saturday, May 20, 2023, staff from Ascendance Idealease assisted the Food Bank with a series of tasks that packaged a total of 300 boxes for its various programs.
The volunteers helped package a run of 200 boxes for the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank’s Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) that directly benefits the Seniors in the local community. Additionally, the group helped assemble another 100 packages of the Food Bank’s Crisis Recovery Boxes (CRB) that create a great selection of healthy, shelf-stable items. The CRB Boxes populate the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank’s inventory that more than 1,300 partner agencies throughout the 27 counties in its service area can order and hand out to individuals and families in need.
