For more than 25 years, Philabundance has acquired and distributed millions of pounds of food each year to our neighbors in need. We get food to those in need through our direct neighborhood distribution programs and our agency network of nearly 500 partner food pantries, emergency kitchens and shelters.
Philabundance’s direct neighborhood distribution approach connects our neighbors in need with food through a variety of Philabundance-run programs that address hunger and food access challenges across the Delaware Valley.
This two-pronged approach is serving 65,000 people each week by building strong relationships within the food industry, engaging communities throughout the region and navigating the ever-changing landscape of food insecurity. These combined efforts allow Philabundance to ensure that every man, woman and child has access to healthy, nutritious food.
