How it works

One warehouse, thousands of neighbors

Since 1974, meals cooked by volunteers and prepared in our Northeast Philadelphia kitchen have moved out to more than 500 partner sites and directly into homes across the five-county region.

If you need food, call us and we will connect you with the closest option. If you want to help, we will place you on a route near your home.
