Approximately 11 out of every 100 people in Lancaster County do not know where they will get their next meal. “That’s a pretty significant number in a community of our size,” Lancaster County Council of Churches (LCCC) executive director Gail Rittenhouse observed after sharing the grave statistic. “Our Food Hub is filling that gap. (People experiencing food insecurity) know they can come to us and leave with 40 to 50 pounds of food once a month.” Last year, the LCCC Food Hub provided fresh and nutritious food to nearly 29,000 individuals, which is an increase of more than 3,400 from 2016.
