Northeastern Berks Food Pantry in Kutztown From Friend, Inc.
Friend, Inc. Community Services runs the Northeastern Berks Food Pantry at 60 Bieber Alley in Kutztown, where families shop the aisles and choose their own groceries for the month.
The pantry is open five days each month. The first Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are by appointment, though walk-ins are welcome. To schedule, call 610-683-9011. The third Thursday and third Friday are open to all with no appointment needed, and new patrons are always welcomed.
The times printed for the open pantry days differ in two places on the page: the schedule at the top lists the third Thursday from 5:00 to 7:00 PM and the third Friday from 10:00 to 11:30 AM, while the description below lists the third Thursday from 6:00 to 7:00 pm and the third Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 am. It is worth calling first to confirm which is right.
Each month more than 500 individuals have their food needs supplemented through the pantry, and between 8,000 and 10,000 pounds of food go out. Food on the shelves includes meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, cereal, canned and baked goods, and on occasion a dessert.
The pantry phone number is 610-683-7791. Friend, Inc. works to reduce food insecurity and other household economic pressures on families throughout rural northeast Berks County.
The page does not say what the pantry costs or list income limits or other rules about who qualifies, so ask when you call. Friend, Inc. also operates a Pet Pantry for dog and cat food that runs in conjunction with this pantry and is available in special circumstances with a phone call to 610-683-7791.
