OUR STORY
Founded by Jennifer Swistock & Rebecca Larsen in 2017, in collaboration with a community of like-minded individuals including chefs, farmers, producers, health and wellness educators and activists, Community Bite is a response to the need for educational opportunities focusing on affordable nutrition. For many people in the Central Pennsylvania region food insecurity is a daily part of life.
Community Bite began with the desire to share nutritional education, overall health and wellness opportunities and support to low-income households, students and homeless members of the community. Throughout the year we provide highly nutritious chef-prepared meals, access to education, and opportunities for hands-on cooking classes and farm tours, with the overall goal to create positive change in our local food network systems. We believe a healthy community is a strong community.
