Notes

We provide a helping hand to low-income Chester
residents by distributing emergency or supplemental
food and supplies.

We also offer educational, spiritual and advocacy
programs to help clients build better lives for
themselves, their families and communities.

All the ministries of the BernardineCenter are rooted
in Franciscan hospitality and the social teachings of
our Catholic Christian tradition.

The BernardineCenter is a 501c3 non profit organization,
incorporated September 21, 1991.

The Bernardine Center was founded in February 1986 by
the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters to help address the
many challenges of low-income Chester residents.

Opened as an Emergency Food Cupboard, the Center designed
the model Super Cupboard program in 1987. This program
seeks to break the cycle of poverty and dependence for
low-income mothers by providing weekly sessions that
include nutrition education and life skills workshops.
The Super Cupboard model has been copied extensively
throughout Pennsylvania.

Throughout the years, the Center has provided targeted
programming to address short-term needs, and help provide
for the long-term needs of the families and individuals
seeking our help.

The Center has been a member of The Greater Philadelphia
Food Bank since its inception, and is a founding member
of the Interfaith Coalition of Food Centers of Delaware
County.
