(Updated) Washington County PA Guide to Food Resources (11/3/2025)

A shelf of donations at the Community Circle Food Pantry in Washington on November 6, 2025



The Greater Washington County Food Bank’s Centerville Pantry.


(Update: My office has received additional information, along with positive feedback  pertaining to the services available in Washington County. This information has been reformatted so that it may be printed and shared. This list is likely to change frequently and will be updated accordingly.)

The continuing shutdown of the federal and state governments and the disruption of SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) will result in great need for many of our Washington County friends and neighbors. To offer guidance, this list of resources was compiled to help those facing food insecurities. In addition, I hope some of you will use this list to find ways to volunteer or send donations.

According to the Greater Washington County Food Bank’s website, as of October 29, 2025, there were more than 18,820 people in Washington County who are food insecure; of those, 20 percent are children, 30 percent are seniors, and 38 percent may not qualify for traditional food pantries. These numbers will likely increase, which means we are going to have to work together to make sure no one goes hungry during these trying times.

This situation is fluid, therefore please contact the Washington County Human Services’ Help Line at 724-228-1234 to see if there is assistance available that we missed.  

Also, if you are aware of resources not mentioned here, please email me at maggil@co.washington.pa.us so that I can update this list.


Thank you!

Larry Maggi
Washington County Commissioner
