About the company
Community Action Committee Of The Lehigh Valley, Inc., doing business as Second Harvest Food Bank, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, that operates as a federal grant sub-recipient (60% of recent awards) and prime grant recipient (40%), delivering food assistance, housing improvements, job training, education, and heating assistance across the Lehigh Valley region. The organization is designated as a minority-owned and woman-owned business and serves primarily through federal grant sub-awards channeled from Pennsylvania state agencies and direct federal grants.
The vendor's customer concentration reflects a grant-dependent model rooted in HHS and HUD programs. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 18 awards (35% of the active portfolio), while HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing (9 awards) and Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (8 awards) collectively represent 33% of recent award volume. These three customer lines account for 81% of all awards. The Department of Veterans Affairs (4 awards) and the Department of Energy (3 awards) round out the active set. A single Department of Justice award carries $8 thousand in potential value, representing the entire measured potential-value total; the apparent gap between potential value ($8 thousand) and obligated dollars ($22.2 million) reflects the source's valuation method and does not indicate underfunding — obligated dollars track the actual sub-award funding received.
Recent prime grant work includes a $729,000 award from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) on April 7, 2026, funding development of an essential community facility in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania, with performance through April 7, 2028. The vendor acts as sub-recipient on weatherization assistance programs flowing from Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development and Department of Human Services, delivering home energy efficiency improvements and heating emergency response across the Lehigh Valley. Additional sub-award work includes shelter placement for women and families, food assistance distribution under USDA TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program), and community action programming addressing barriers to economic stability, housing security, and food access.
Activity has modulated over the past five years — four awards in 2022, five in 2023, six in 2024, declining to three in 2025, then rising to nine in 2026. One award (combined potential value not specified) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization operates three named subsidiaries: Lehigh and Northampton Counties Revolving Loan Fund, Inc.; Rising Tide Community Loan Fund; and Community Action Development Corporation of Bethlehem, each structured as a community development corporation and nonprofit organization. These subsidiaries support the parent organization's community development and lending functions but do not appear as distinct federal awardees in the source data. The vendor does not hold federal contracts as a prime contractor and does not sit on government-wide contract vehicles; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-dependent, routed through state pass-through agencies and direct federal grant programs serving low-income populations.
