other ways you can help
Hold a Facebook fundraiser so we can purchase emergency food, as well as buy cleaning and safety supplies.
SNAP
During this crisis, Philabundance is working hard to distribute more food to people who need it. Despite our best efforts, we still know that federal nutrition programs are the best way for people to get the food they want and need. As a result of the Families First Act, Congress made some changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help give qualifying individuals additional benefits.
THANK YOU to our hunger heroes!

- Limiting shifts to 20 people so we can practice social distancing
- Staggering volunteers so they stand at least six feet apart while volunteering
- Stepping up already rigorous cleaning procedures before and after each shift
- Asking volunteers to follow CDC safety guidelines, including: safe hand-washing procedures; staying home if showing signs of illness; sneezing into sleeves
- Providing gloves to volunteers for additional protection
