Welcome to
​Community REACH, Inc.

Established in 1974 and incorporated in 1975, Community REACH, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit human services agency providing basic items of support to nearly 350 families residing in the Dallastown, Eastern York, and Red Lion school districts of York County.  Food insecurity is a real concern for nearly 12% of the population. 
​We offer our clients a wide range of services including a choice food pantry, school supplies, cold weather gear, plus  fuel and utility assistance as funds allow. Our friendly staff and volunteers are here to resource, encourage, advocate, connect and help our clients and our community.
​New clients are required to provide a current photo ID plus proof of address, if the address and the ID information are not the same at the time of registration. Also needed are the names and birthdates of everyone residing in the household.  A 'self-declaration of income' must be signed to receive items provided through the state food allotment.  Each client should provide the name of someone who can be listed as a 'proxy' for picking up groceries if necessary.  You will be asked about food allergies or other health concerns of anyone in your household so that we may help you with your grocery choices each month. Allow 30-45 minutes on your first visit so that the staff and volunteers are able to guide you through the choice food pantry and provide information about our services.  We are here to assist you.  Please keep us informed each month of any changes within your household, such as cell phone numbers or change of address and the number of people.   
​arKIDS' KAFE
​Since 2009, volunteers have spent each summer preparing bags filled with several choices of  kid-friendly, individually-sized, healthy items for youngsters to pick up each Monday morning for that week.  That first summer, we had an average of 55 children participating, and in 2017, the average was 155.
That's a lot of inventory needed each week! 

​Due to the growth in the number of families who find it helpful to participate in the summer lunch program, we are making plans to use the gym at the Family of God Community Church, which is about a block away for our facility,  for the summer distribution site.  Pick up will be at 147 First Avenue between 10am-12noon each Monday morning. Park in the lot off the alley behind the church, use the rear entrance to the church building, and volunteers will be available to help you in the gymnasium.  For anyone needing an easy access ramp, please park on First Avenue in front of the church and come down the sidewalk which will take you inside without any stairs.  Each child [ages 1-14] in a client household are eligible to pick up one bag each Monday morning; older youth in the family are welcome to receive a bag also but please make certain that they are registered.
