The pantry is for any active duty, reserve, or veteran in the state of PA or attached to a unit in PA. Immediate family members, such as spouses and children, are included up to age 21 if still in school. Grandchildren are covered only if you are their legal guardian. No income limit is listed.

Food distribution takes place on Wednesday and Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM. The pantry is closed Monday, Friday and Sunday. The other days listed on the page, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 AM to 2 PM, are for volunteers, not for food distribution.

The organization describes the hardships it has in mind: service members deployed overseas who worry about whether their children have breakfast before school or whether the baby has diapers and food, military spouses who lose their jobs when they relocate, and combat-injured veterans waiting, sometimes up to 18 months, for a medical determination that leaves them without income.

The page does not say how much food you get, how often you can come back, whether you need an appointment, or what papers to bring. The general contact for the organization is (610) 698-2122 or keystonemilitary@yahoo.com, and questions can go there before you visit.

Keystone Military Families says it is 100% public donation-funded and an IRS 501(c)3 charity.
