If you visit the Philabundance Hunger Relief Center in South Philadelphia on any given Tuesday or Friday morning, you’ll find a host of trucks, vans, and cars gathering along Pattison Avenue. On those set days throughout the year, our Community Partner representatives line up early, some even before the sun comes up, to pick up fresh, nutritious food from our “HUB.” Items include fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and meats. Our wonderful warehouse staff and volunteers welcome the drivers starting 8am to help them load their respective vehicles for transport back to their community distribution sites.

Formerly known as Inter-Faith Housing Alliance, Family Promise Montco focuses on providing housing and food for residents of Montgomery County who are facing food insecurity. In April 2022, we joined them for the ribbon cutting of their newly renovated and expanded pantry in Roslyn, PA. Residing on the campus of Salem Baptist Church, Family Promise is open to neighbors in need 4 days of the week and accepts donations as well. When neighbors drive up to the pantry, they are greeted by friendly volunteers who help them shop for items they need and assist them while loading their car.
