#BeetHunger
Über uns
Philabundance seeks to drive hunger from our communities today and end hunger forever. It serves approximately 90,000 people per week, a third of whom are children and 15% of whom are seniors. In 2016, Philabundance distributed approximately 24 million pounds of food through its own neighborhood distribution programs and through a network of 350 member agencies in 9 counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Three quarters of a million people in our service area face hunger every day. Their stories are as diverse as the nine counties we serve: working families hit hard by the recession, women, children, seniors trying to make ends meet. The one thing they have in common is being part of a food system that desperately needs additional support. Philabundance was founded in 1984 with the simple belief that no man, woman or child should go hungry. Join us.

As back-to-school season kicks off, we're proud to share that today marks the conclusion of our LunchBox program. With the incredible support of our partner The GIANT Company, we distributed nearly 50,000 healthy meals to children through 20 youth-serving organizations across our service area. A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated staff at the Philabundance Community Kitchen (PCK) for preparing these meals and to our amazing volunteers from Youth Advocate Programs, Inc. Together, we’re making a meaningful impact in our community.

We were honored to partner with The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation for the 10th annual Get Ready Fest in Camden, NJ. Together, we served 1,000 families with 50 lbs of food each—enough for a week’s worth of meals. Beyond food distribution, this event provided vital health screenings, educational resources, and other community support services. We’re proud to play a role in this impactful event and help make a difference in the Camden community.
