An up-to-date list of sites and schedules is available on the City’s website. The public is encouraged to confirm locations and schedule by calling 311 or visiting phila.gov/food before going to a site. This continued effort is a partnership with the community-based sites, as well as Philabundance and Share Food Program.
The City, School District, and partners will continue to operate student meal sites this fall. In addition, Outdoor Meals, senior meals, and meal delivery to people with disabilities will continue through partnerships with Step Up to the Plate, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging and Liberty Resources. The food site partnership was part of the City’s coordinated response to the COVID-19 crisis. Since then, the City’s Community Life Improvement Program (CLIP) and volunteers have packed more than 32,000 boxes of food each week with food contributions by Philabundance and Share Food Program. More than 471,600 boxes have been distributed at food sites alone, not including youth or senior meal sites. This effort was made possible by the City’s partners, staff and volunteers, who are committed to ensuring that every Philadelphian has access to free and healthy foods. Additional resources can also be found at whyhunger.org/find-food and communityresourceconnects.org. Individuals may also call WhyHunger at 1(800) 5-HUNGRY, or text their zip code to 1(800) 548-6479 to find food near them. People who would like to support food access in Philadelphia are encouraged to continue making contributions to Philabundance and Share Food Program, including volunteering their time to distribute food.
