HARRISBURG – Members of the PA Legislative Hunger Caucus gathered at the Capitol Hunger Garden in Harrisburg along with local and state leaders as they reflected on another successful harvesting season and the need for communities to have access to fresh food options. For the 2025 season, Penn State Master Gardeners and volunteers harvested a record 1,192 pounds of vegetables and herbs. The amount of produce able to be gathered means more Harrisburg residents in need will benefit from freshly cooked meals offered at the Downtown Daily Bread. Established in 2008, the Legislative Hunger Caucus seeks to raise awareness for hunger, with the garden being its most visible initiatives. The Capitol Hunger Garden will open for its 16th season in spring 2026.
