Friend, Inc. Community Services

658D Noble St., Kutztown | 610.683.7790 | friendinc.org

Every year, we place more than 300,000 pounds of food on kitchen tables throughout northeast Berks County, helping families stay strong. We operate four separate pantries on multiple days including the KU student pantry. Last year saw a 17 percent increase in total individuals and a 13 percent increase in new households that we serve. The need is there and it’s growing. Our pet pantry fills a bowl for over 300 pets each month. Our Social Support work saw more than 160 clients and referred an additional 730. Safe Berks, Family Guidance Center and Maternal and Family Health Services continue to provide critical resources to the community from our common office. For over 40 years Friend, Inc. has been making Berks a better place for all. Thank you for your continued support!
