Our Impact

In 2021 over 560 individuals received direct and referral support for things such as heat and housing. Every month between 400 and 500 individuals benefit from our self-select food pantry as do another 150 Kutztown University students at our campus pantry. Another 240 individuals have received emergency food packs. In fact, for over 30 years, Friend, Inc. has been at the forefront in delivering food and social services throughout northeastern Berks County.

Why We Need You

People in rural communities face exactly the same issues as people living in urban and suburban areas; hunger, housing, illness, poverty, domestic safety, and access to mental health support. Due to the nature of being ‘rural’, however, these challenges are often less noticeable than they are in denser populations. It’s hard to see. But every day we see it. It takes dedication and expertise to find and fix, of course, but it takes more. That’s why your gift is so critical.
