Penn State Berks hosted United Way’s 'The Big Cheese' on Friday, June 17. This year, more than 500 volunteers came together in the college's Beaver Athletic and Wellness Center to package 250,000 nutrient-fortified mac-and-cheese meals for local families in need. Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank will distribute them to local school children through the Weekender Backpack program, as well as through food pantries located throughout Berks County. The Reading School District also receives a portion of the meals, which are distributed to children throughout the school year.
