Panel featuring United Way, New Hope Ministries, and students to assess the need for a mobile food pantry and job training center in Enola

Tome 115, Rector Science Complex

At the request of a non-profit, New Hope Ministries, our class will engage in a community-based learning research project. New Hope currently operates a well-attended weekly mobile food pantry in Enola in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Pending the availability of funding, New Hope is considering a permanent food pantry and work training site in Enola. New Hope asked us to interview their mobile food pantry guests and others familiar with Enola to understand opportunities and barriers to accessing healthy food, transportation, and job training in the area. The goal is to assess the need for the food pantry and job training center in Enola, and to identify convenient locations for the potential center.Panelists: <ul><li>Alexander Kruger, United Way of the Capital Region.
