Fighting Poverty, Feeding Hope: New Journey Community Outreach

by Ali Bechtel , Photography by Heidi Reuter

October 26, 2017

Thanks to their more than 500 committed volunteers and generous donors, New Journey Community Outreach has been able to restore hope, comfort and dignity by feeding, clothing and supporting thousands of individuals and families in need in the Reading community. Through partnerships and collaborations, New Journey is committed to fighting poverty and ending hunger with a focus on helping people to break the cycle of poverty and sustain their daily lives. 

New Journey is the largest soup kitchen in downtown Reading, serving nutritious lunches four days a week. Last year alone they served more than 29,000 lunches. Their food pantry also provides dry groceries, meats, produce, dairy products and bread to nearly 300 families each month and acts as an Emergency Food Distribution Center. 

Two clothing centers provide everything from basic needs through business attire, and their Back-To-Work Clothing program also offers helpful tips for interviewing. The organization also partners with Reading Health System Street Medicine, and doctors visit weekly to address non-emergency medical needs.

New Journey Community Outreach is a leader in fostering a community where hunger is universally unacceptable and everyone has the tools they need to succeed. They serve all walks of life and there is no fee for any of their food or clothing services.

For many in our community, food and shelter is not a given. 40,000 of our neighbors are food insecure and an increasing number are at risk. These families face difficult decisions; do I pay my heating bill or do I buy groceries for my family? We see families losing their homes or apartments, sometimes sleeping in cars as funding for alternative housing has been stretched thin or, in some cases, isn't available. New Journey Community Outreach supports our neighbors who find themselves struggling by providing them with food, clothing, and support.

Through our weekly food distributions, we ensure families have food to put on the table. Last year, over 13,000 bags of groceries were distributed. Our daily soup kitchen provides a full lunch for our guests, including many who are homeless. Last year, we served over 52,000 meals.

Our clothing center provides clothing for infants to adults and we also host a Back to Work clothing center, providing clothing for interviews and a variety of workplace settings. In the winter, we distribute coats and warm clothing to help our neighbors face harsh weather.

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.

New Journey Community Outreach Executive Director to Retire

by New Journey Community Outreach

New Journey Community Outreach’s (NJCO) Board of Directors has announced the planned retirement of its first Executive Director, Susan Krall, effective August 26, 2022.

Susan Krall joined NJCO in 2012 when the non-profit organization was created in response to the closing of New Journey United Methodist Church (which merged with West Lawn United Methodist Church). NJCO assumed responsibility for continuing the essential food and clothing services provided for low-income persons by “the yellow church” which served as a leader for social outreach programs in Southwest Reading for the past five decades.

“It is a bitter-sweet time for NJCO”, says Marnell McCarthy, NJCO Board President.  “Sue was our first Executive Director and helped enhance the program, funding, and volunteer efforts for the organization over the last 10 years.  As she hands off the reins, we find that NJCO is a strong organization that is perfectly positioned to move forward.  We wish her all the best as she enters this next stage of her life.”

The Board of Directors is very pleased to announce the selection of Christie Botterbusch as the new Executive Director. Christie knows the organization well as she has served as a volunteer at NJCO. With her extensive background with non-profit organizations and strong leadership skills, we are confident that she will lead the organization to further New Journey’s growth and mission.

Thank you and your staff for all you do to accommodate so many different shows, personalities, etc.!  Can’t be easy, but we really do appreciate it. Martha

I am happy and proud to be a part of such a dedicated assembly of talent and purpose. Thank you for being a part of my efforts to promote theater and the arts in this region. David

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference. Kristi
