To fulfill its mission to relieve hunger now, Philabundance directly distributes food to more than 360 community partners and distributes additional food to another 300 agencies through other indirect partnerships, throughout a 9-county service area covering southeastern Pennsylvania and southern new jersey. Through collaboration with manufacturers, grocers, and local partners, Philabundance is able to purchase, collect, and deliver upwards of 50,000,000 pounds of food annually to food pantries, soup kitchens, food cupboards, emergency shelters, and schoools, providing nutritious options to more than 135,000 people each week, including the region's most vulnerable groups including seniors and children.

Philabundance is committed to providing people with the food they want and need. To help this Philabundance launched the good food policy, which outlines our commitment to ensuring people have access to nutrious and culturally responsive food that is procured responsibly. This efforts builds off our belief to put the people we serve at the center of what we do. With that in mind Philabundance is committeed to not only relieving hunger today but also ending hunger for good. This means we will focus on collaboratively pairing healthy food and other critical services to work toward long-term solutions to food insecurity. In addition, Philabundance has a 16 week culinary vocational training program which has been transforming the lives of women and men with low-to-no income since 2000.
