Last week, Philabundance, joined by CEO of Feeding America Denis McDonough and GIANT, kicked off the Summer Lunchbox program with a press conference at Philabundance Community Kitchen!

Now in its fourth year, the Summer Lunchbox program alleviates summer hunger for children while school is closed. With GIANT’s support, Philabundance is providing 40,000 handmade lunch meals, 15,000 frozen breakfasts, and 20,000 hearty, shelf-stable breakfast kits to more than 25 youth-serving distribution sites through August 21.

Starbucks employees volunteered at Philabundance’s South Philadelphia warehouse, sorting and packing food during the company’s Global Month for Good, which focuses on the impact that Starbucks employees, The Starbucks Foundation, and licensed business operators have on the communities they serve. Since 2016, Starbucks FoodShare has donated more than 144 million pounds of surplus food nationwide, helping reduce food waste and supporting people in local communities facing hunger.

Today is World Hunger Day, a global initiative to raise awareness and celebrate community-led solutions.

1 in 12 people across the globe live with chronic hunger. In our region alone, 1 in 8 people are food insecure.

Philabundance works tirelessly to provide nutritious options to those in need, but we cannot do it alone. To donate or learn how you can host your own virtual food drive in support of Philabundance, visit www.philabundance.org/host-a-food-drive/
