YORKGIVING | November 2024


Catholic Harvest Food Pantry holds YorkGiving, our Thanksgiving food distribution annually the weekend before Thanksgiving. In 2023, a record number of 2,075 York households benefited from the distribution, a 30% increase from the year before! Households who sign up receive a turkey or chicken, based on preference, and all the trimmings to be able to prepare and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner at home.


YorkGiving is powered by hundreds of Catholic Harvest Food Pantry volunteers with a committee, led by former CHFP ED Kris Pollick, preparing for months for this community-wide Thanksgiving distribution. It's takes generous retailers, businesses, service organizations and individuals who donate food, especially frozen turkeys, and hundreds of volunteers to execute a project of this magnitude. Pantry volunteers and many others from our community signup to help with soliciting food donations, registering households or with event setup, box making, packing food boxes, distribution and delivery of turkeys and side boxes, teardown and more.


Most of the YorkGiving action takes place at York Expo Center's Memorial Hall starting with setup on Tuesday, November 19 and culminating with the main distribution taking place Saturday, November 23 and November 24-25 for deliveries or catch up.





To take part in YorkGiving and make Thanksgiving special for our neighbors in York and York County, go to www.yorkgiving.com -look for volunteer signups to open upcoming! Please let us know if you or any businesses or groups you know are able to help with poultry procurement. Thank you! chfp@catholicharvest.org
