Our Mission
About PACS
As the lead resource for food security, PACS is dedicated to helping our neighbors meet their nutritional needs during difficult periods of their lives. We offer a variety of food distribution services, meeting people where they are and serving them with dignity and respect, and connecting our guests to additional community resources to support their wellbeing.
Our Vision

​
We see a food-secure future for everyone in the greater Phoenixville area and work to make this a reality by modeling the concept of "community feeding community" through our tireless efforts to ensure everyone is fed. We strive to involve all of our neighbors in the process of securing access to healthy, nutritious food so that no one goes hungry when there is more than enough to go around.
