Philabundance William(Bill) J. Clark is the current president and executive director. "[1]

Mission

edit

To end hunger and malnutrition in the Greater Philadelphia region by rescuing surplus food and distributing it to local organizations serving people in need.

Description

edit

Philabundance trucks collect food directly from local restaurants, supermarkets, caterers, wholesalers and food manufacturers, and deliver it free-of-charge to organizations such as shelters, emergency kitchens, food cupboards and social service agencies each day. The food, including fresh, frozen, baked and packaged goods, is served soon after delivery. Food donations through Philabundance allow these organizations to serve more people in need and to provide more substantial and nutritious meals. The Philabundance program is simple and very efficient; they provide food for over 18,000 meals each day, at a cost of about 18 cents per meal. Food donors are protected under the federal "Good Samaritan Act."[2]
