The Rotary Club of York-East continues to exemplify its commitment to community service by actively volunteering at two of York County's essential food assistance programs: Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen and Catholic Harvest Food Pantry. For over two decades, York-East Rotarians have been a consistent presence at Our Daily Bread, a nonprofit soup kitchen located next to St. Mary’s Church in downtown York. The organization serves free breakfast and lunch every weekday to anyone in need. On the last Tuesday of months with five Tuesdays, club members volunteer to prepare and serve meals, ensuring that guests receive hot, nutritious food in a welcoming environment.

In addition to their work at Our Daily Bread, York-East Rotarians support the Catholic Harvest Food Pantry, one of the largest food pantries in York County. The pantry provides monthly food distributions to 950–1,000 households experiencing food insecurity through weekday and mobile pantry services. Rotary volunteers assist in various capacities, including distributing food, processing donations, and packing client food orders. "Our mission is to serve the community where the need is greatest," said a York-East Rotary Club representative Tim Koller. "By partnering with organizations like Our Daily Bread and Catholic Harvest Food Pantry, we aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors."
