How it works
Rescue, sort, share
Shelf-stable goods, frozen protein, dairy, and fresh produce arrive at our Northeast Philadelphia warehouse from farms, manufacturers, wholesalers, retail partners, and community food drives.
Volunteers sort and pack it, our kitchen turns raw ingredients into finished meals, and partner agencies pick up or receive deliveries on a recurring schedule for the communities they serve.
Because partners are embedded in their own neighborhoods, food reaches people who would never fill out a form at a large institution.
- Recurring allocations for pantries, shelters, senior centers, and schools
- Frozen protein, canned goods, dry staples, dairy, and fresh produce
- Kitchen-prepared meals for agencies that cannot cook on site
- Food-safety guidance and volunteer support for partner sites
