Community Meals
Fueling Our Community with
Food and Friendship
SACA’s mission of more than 50 years has been to uplift and restore marginalized communities through human, economic, and social services while supporting cultural identities. And one of the most significant ways we do this is through our Community Meals Program.
SACA is committed to ensuring those who need food, friendship, and hope have access to basic resources that fulfill these needs. Most recently (July 1, 2023-Feb 29, 2024), the program has served a total of 18,546 meals.
Who We Serve
SACA’s Community Meals Program serves everyone, regardless of age, income, or any other factor. Our doors are open and everyone is welcome! Our Grab and Go program provides lunch and dinner 6 days a week from our location at 545 Pershing Avenue, Lancaster. Our service hours run from 12 PM to 1 PM and 4 PM to 5 PM, Monday-Saturday.
Numbers at a Glance: FY 2022-23
To illustrate what this program means to our community, here is just one example of what a community member shared…
“I participate every day in SACA’s community meals. As a single mother of 3 small children, I don’t have enough income to prepare daily meals. This helps me to pay my expensive rent and bills and to keep a roof over my family. I pray that God continues to bless your cooks and the people who give money and donate food. Without SACA many of us would go to sleep with maybe only one meal a day.”
Testimonials like these are not unique. We hear them every day. And we’re grateful for that! This fuels our inspiration and passion to continue to grow an adequately-funded, reliable community meals program that people can count on.
Partners Make It Possible
SACA, on its own, is unable to fully support those facing hunger, however, with community support together we CAN help bridge the meal gaps that exist in our County. Please join us to meet the daily needs of food insecurity by volunteering and financially supporting the various organizations united for the same cause. SACA’s Community Meals program is accepting volunteers, if interested please contact us at 717.399.4295.
Thank you! Your generosity has a direct impact on our community!
