Where You Can Help

Hunger Relief Center

Philabundance’s sorting and packing takes place at our Hunger Relief Center in South Philadelphia. Hundreds of volunteers are needed each week to sort and pack supplemental and emergency food items. This is a great opportunity for groups or individuals:

M, W, Th and F: 8:30AM-12:00PM and 12:30-3:30PM
Tuesday: 12:30-4:00PM and 6:00PM-8:30PM (NOTE: The 2nd Tuesday of every month is Family Night: 6:00PM-8:00PM)

Check out the full calendar here.

Fresh For All

This program distributes fresh produce weekly, similar to a farmer’s market, to some of the Delaware Valley’s most under served neighbors. Each site requires 10-15 volunteers per distribution day. Check out the Fresh For All Calendar here.

KidsBites

This program provides access to nutritious food in low-income areas for the families of all students enrolled. Food is distributed once a month allowing families of the students at the partner school to choose from available food options, including fresh produce, protein and dairy. KidsBites Volunteers are required to have a PSP Background Check and a Child Abuse Clearance Check. Check out the KidsBites Calendar here.

Fare & Square

Fare & Square, a program of Philabundance, is a non-profit grocery store in Chester. Fare & Square offers shoppers convenient access to “good food right around the corner” that has not been available to residents in a full-scale grocery store in years. We are looking for friendly, energetic volunteers to help with tasks around the store. Check out the Fare & Square Calendar here.

Gleaning

Gleaning, the practice of harvesting leftover crops from a farmer’s field, is a great way to put local, fresh produce into the hands of community members in need. Gleans take place throughout the summer and fall on weekdays from 8:30AM to 12PM and groups are welcome!
