Philabundance was founded in 1984 with the simple belief that no one should go hungry while healthy food goes to waste. Our mission is to drive hunger from our communities today as we work to end hunger for good. Today, Philabundance is the Delaware Valley’s largest hunger relief organization, covering a service area of nine counties in PA and NJ, moving over 50 million pounds a year. In addition to food distribution, we strive to reduce food waste, increase access to nutritious meals, and tackle the root causes of hunger through programs such as the Philabundance Community Kitchen and working with community organizations that provide critical life skills and services to engage in holistic strategies that provide food in addition to: Education, Financial literacy, Health services, Housing and more; with the goal of shortening the line at food distribution sites.
