Caring for Friends outreach distributing food

Programs

Food for Those Facing Homelessness

Meals and snack bags prepared by volunteers and distributed to people living on the streets and in shelters across Philadelphia.

What we provide

Food that works without a kitchen

People sleeping outside or moving between shelters cannot store or cook food. Our snack bags are built for that reality: shelf-stable, hand-held, protein-forward, and easy to carry.

Volunteers — often school groups, scout troops, and corporate teams — assemble thousands of bags at a time. Outreach teams, shelters, and street-level partners distribute them where people actually are.

  • $25 provides five snack bags for neighbors facing homelessness
  • Bags include protein, fruit, crackers, water, and a caring note
  • Prepared meals supplied to shelters and drop-in centers
  • Distribution through established outreach and shelter partners
