ACMH Food Pantry Program

The idea behind the ACMH Emergency Food Pantry is that we will bridge the gap for our patients and help to create relationships with organizations that can assist them as long as they need.

ACMH has partnered with the Greater Pittsburgh Foodbank in a working group comprised of Armstrong County agencies tasked to address food insecurity in our community. There have been many incredible projects developed through this grant. The Foodbank generously donated a commercial size refrigerator and freezer to help complete the space.

This pantry comes as a response to the growing concern over food insecurity intensified by recent economic challenges and global uncertainties. Recognizing the importance of a reliable source of nutrition for individuals and families facing hardship, ACMH has undertaken the initiative to establish a pantry that will offer vital support to the community. Working with our partners, we hope to build a future where everyone has access to nutritious foods and no one in our community has to go to bed hungry.

The mission of the program is to provide nutritious food to patients in need, following their discharge from the hospital. Eligible patients receive three days worth of healthy frozen meals, including specific items for diabetic and cardiac diets.

At ACMH, we realize that returning home after a hospital stay can be a challenging time. To help our patients settle in at home, the ACMH Care Package Program provides interested patients with a three-day supply of meals to help with that transition.

Food from the ACMH Dietary Department is packaged into frozen meals for patients to take home upon discharge. These easy-to-prepare options include a wide variety of food types and specific options for cardiac and diabetic patients, if applicable. An ACMH Discharge Planner will discuss needs with the patient, based on questions they answered during their intake. They then coordinate the delivery of the care package, which will come in a reusable cloth bag that was donated through the generosity of the ACMH Foundation. The mission of ACMH Care Package Program is to provide nutritious food to patients in need, which will promote wellness, nourishment, and strength following discharge from the hospital and improve people's health and well-being.
