At Philabundance, our mission is simple yet urgent: to drive hunger from our communities today and end hunger for good. Each day, we work across several counties in the Philadelphia area, including Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Salem in New Jersey, to get nutritious food to the people who need it most.
But fighting hunger isn’t a one-time effort. It’s a continuous challenge, and it requires sustainable, reliable support. That’s why recurring donations are one of the most powerful ways you can support Philabundance and the thousands of individuals and families we serve every week.
Hunger Doesn’t Take a Break – Neither Should Support
In the Philadelphia region, more than 1 in 10 people face food insecurity .That includes 1 in 8 children who don’t always know where their next meal will come from. Hunger is a persistent, year-round issue, made worse by rising costs of living, inflation, and unexpected emergencies.
Recurring donations — monthly gifts made automatically — help Philabundance meet these needs consistently. When you give monthly, you’re not just making a donation; you’re providing a dependable foundation for our programs and services.
The Power of Predictability
One-time donations are always appreciated. They often come during the holidays, in response to a major campaign, or after a crisis. But recurring donations offer something special: predictability.
When we know we can count on monthly support, we can plan more effectively. This means:
- Keeping shelves stocked across our community partner agencies
- Sustaining food distribution programs for seniors, families, and children
- Launching and expanding innovative initiatives like the Fresh For All markets, BackPack programs, and Community Kitchen job training
- Investing in long-term hunger solutions across Greater Philadelphia
A steady stream of donations empowers us to respond faster and allocate resources wisely, because we’re not left guessing what funds will be available from month to month.
Small Gifts Make a Big Impact
One of the biggest misconceptions about monthly giving is that it has to be a large amount to matter. But the truth is, even $10 a month makes a meaningful difference. When pooled together with gifts from other committed monthly supporters, your impact multiplies — helping us feed tens of thousands of people every single week.
You’re Part of the Philabundance Family
Becoming a recurring donor means you’re more than just a supporter, you’re part of the Philabundance family. Our monthly donors are some of our most committed partners in fighting hunger. We call them Hunger Heroes!
It’s a relationship rooted in shared values and the desire to make lasting change in the Philadelphia region.
A Local Impact You Can See
When you give to Philabundance, your support stays local. That means your monthly donation is helping:
- A child in North Philadelphia who counts on school snacks to stay focused in class
- A senior in Camden who can stretch their fixed income just a little further, thanks to our grocery box program
- A parent in Chester who can pick up fresh produce without having to choose between food and rent
Our reach is wide, but our focus is local. And with monthly support, we’re able to deliver more than 50 million pounds of food annually to those who need it most — an effort that simply isn’t possible without consistent generosity from people like you.
It’s Easy, Secure, and Flexible
Setting up a recurring donation with us is quick and convenient. You choose the amount, and the donation is made automatically each month. It’s secure, easy to manage, and you can change or cancel it at any time. This flexibility means you can continue making an impact, even if your circumstances change.
Plus, by opting for electronic recurring donations, you help us reduce administrative costs, paper waste, and processing time, allowing even more of your gift to go directly toward hunger relief efforts.
A Stronger, Healthier Future for All
Recurring donations help us build a more resilient food system, where every person — regardless of background, income, or ZIP code — has access to nourishing food. They allow us to address not just the symptoms of hunger, but also the root causes, including poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to fresh food.
As a recurring donor, you’re helping to transform lives, and neighborhoods. You’re not just feeding someone for today, you’re helping them thrive tomorrow.
