It's simple, really. Food donors , anyone from a grocery store manager to a restaurateur to a wholesale produce distributor, notify us of surplus food donations. Many of our donors are on a regular pick up schedule, while others donate as food becomes available. Then, our team of drivers pickup the food in our refrigerated trucks, and deliver it to community organizations that serve the needy. Philabundance maintains the highest food safety standards.
Inadequate income is the major cause of hunger.
Poor access to food, particularly fresh foods, is a second major cause. Like us, our food donors don't like to see good food go to waste. Food is delivered to over 180 community organizations in our network. We provide all food to them completely free of charge. We serve people of all ages, races and backgrounds.
