The Challenge

Got a big-hearted business, workplace, group, church, or community? Step up and join the Challenge to compete for your local pride in support of CNOY. Check the National Challengeboard to see more!

About New Journey Community Outreach

Have you ever needed to make a choice between feeding your family or paying the heating bill? Do you have choices for what you want to cook for dinner? Do your kids have appropriate clothing for school?


For many in our community, the answer to those questions is no. New Journey Community Outreach is the largest soup kitchen, food pantry, and clothing center in Reading and the largest food distribution partner for Helping Harvest across Berks and Schuylkill County.


Through our weekly food distributions, we ensure families have food to put on the table. Last year, we served over 8,000 households. Our daily soup kitchen provides a full lunch for our guests, including many who are homeless. Last year, we served over 42,000 lunches.


Our clothing center provides clothing for infants to adults. We also host a Back to Work clothing center, providing clothing for interviews and a variety of workplace settings.


We work closely with other social service agencies, ensuring individuals and families have their most critical needs met.


We invite you to be partners in our work! Sign up, lead a team or join a team, because no one should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from.
