Philabundance Hold Your Own Food Drive

This may come as a surprise, but there are people in Philadelphia who don’t have enough to eat. (Strange, given we’re the junk-food capital of the universe.)

Get bummed out and guilt stricken, then do something about it: The fine people at Philabundance are offering you a chance to make a difference. Philabundance has been a local resource for a while, but the job is hard and they can use some new help.

And there’s a practical way to get food to people who need it: Host a food drive. Philabundance will pick up donations — 300 pounds or more, collected in ten medium-size boxes. If you have fewer than ten boxes, you can drop them off at the headquarters.

Just in case you need another reason to feel good about yourself.

Philabundance, 302 West Berks Street; 3616 South Galloway Street (215-339-0900 ext. 221 or philabundance.org).
