Philabundance is a non-profit food bank that serves the Philadelphia and Delaware Valley regions of Pennsylvania, United States. It is the largest such organization in the region.[2] [3] The organization stated goal is to end hunger in its communities.[4]

History

The organization was founded in 1984 by Pam Lawler. In 2005, it merged with The Greater Philadelphia Food Bank, and the new entity operates under the name Philabundance.[5] [6] [7]

Organization

Philabundance serves 90,000 people each week, 30% of whom are children, 15% of whom are seniors, and others. It has programs and a network of 350 agencies.[8] [9] [10] [11]

Philabundance works with local grocers and farmers for food management; in 2016, it rescued 10 million pounds of food. The organization also hosts events alongside the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger.[12]

Philabundance's partner, the Chester County Food Bank,[13] and other Feeding America food banks have partnered with colleges to provide food to schools.[14] [15]
