About Philabundance
Philabundance is Philadelphia's largest hunger relief organization. They serve 9 counties in the Philadelphia area and collaborate with 350 partner organizations to help distribute nutritious, culturally responsive, equitably sourced, and accessible food to those in need. They partner with grocers and farmers to rescue food that would otherwise go to waste.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic drastically increased the community's need for food support, so Philabundance has doubled the amount of food it serves annually from pre-pandemic levels. In 2021 alone, Philabundance distributed 52 million pounds of food, including 15 million pounds of fruits and vegetables.
Philabundance's Community Kitchen is a culinary vocational training program that Philabundance runs. It helps low-income and unemployed students prepare to enter the food service industry while they cook meals for neighbors in need. In 2021 alone they produced 400,000 meals for area seniors, shelters, and community centers.
Philabundance has realized that holistic support can better help individuals support themselves and their families. In their Ending Hunger for Good initiative, Philabundance has partnered with community organizations to provide housing, health services, and life skills as needed to people their clients.
