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 people shop their way through the aisles and choose their own food 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. Call 610-683-9011 to schedule an appointment. The third Thursday and third Friday are open pantry days with no appointment needed, and new patrons are always welcomed.
The page prints two different sets of times for the open pantry days. The schedule block 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 it, and the Friend, Inc. contact page, list the third Thursday from 6:00 to 7:00 pm and the third Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 am. Call the pantry at 610-683-7791 before you go to confirm the hours for that month.
Each month over 500 individuals have their food needs supplemented through the pantry, and between 8,000 and 10,000 pounds of food are distributed. Shelves hold meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, cereal, canned and baked goods, and on occasion a dessert.
The pantry number is 610-683-7791. The Friend, Inc. agency office at the same address can be reached at 610-683-7790 for general questions, and its office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and by appointment. Friend, Inc. asks people to call for any food-related needs outside these hours.
Friend, Inc. works to reduce food insecurity and other household economic pressures on families throughout rural northeast Berks County. The page does not list income limits, required documents, or a cost for the food, so ask when you call.
