Fresh For All is a program that puts good quality, fresh produce into the hands of those who need it.  The cost of fresh fruits and vegetables is rising, which means these healthy foods are the first to get cut when money is tight. 
Philabundance estimates that there are approximately 900,000 people in the Delaware Valley that may need help with food.  Through our close to 500 agency network, food is distributed to approximately 65,000 people every week.  The current need greatly exceeds the capacity of the existing network.  In response, Philabundance is planning new and innovative ways of distributing more food to people in need.  Fresh For All is the first step on this path. 

 

Fresh For All locations are selected based on need and may be in partnership with an area agency or business. The Fresh For All truck returns on the same day and time each week to various locations, which range from space shared by an area organization to simply a parking lot.  Volunteers assist with running the distributions.

Fresh For All Membership
Becoming a Fresh For All member is easy.  Potential members are asked to provide basic household information for program funding and other purposes.  Participating in Fresh For All does not affect any other benefits you are receiving.  Members are asked to bring their own boxes or bags to distributions.

Fresh For All Volunteers
Volunteers are needed for Fresh For All to succeed.  Though times vary by location, each distribution requires approimately 2-3 hours and 10-15 volunteers to serve 150-200 individuals.  Volunteers may assist at one distribution, or at mutliple distributions on a regular basis, but must be able to commit to the full distribution duration. Volunteers must be able to perform a variety of duties, including some physical work.   We will match volunteers to tasks within their capabilities.  Some distributions will be held outdoors.  Volunteers assisting with these distributions should dress accordingly.

Fore information on volunteering for Fresh For All, contact FFAvolunteer@philabundance.org or 215.220.1920
