I went to a pre-Thanksgiving party last night. I didn’t eat a crazy amount, but I definitely had my fill of turkey, stuffing, and plenty of other delicious dishes. Over the next month and a half many of us will fight to not overeat, which makes it easy to forget how many people go hungry this time of year (and all times of year for that matter). The numbers are mind-boggling. In the Delaware River valley alone, there are nearly a million people facing hunger on a daily basis. Philabundance is a Philadelphia, PA based organization that holds the “simple belief that no man, woman or child should go hungry.” They do this by providing emergency food and services to people in 9 counties across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Opportunities Abound

On a weekly basis Philabundance feeds more than 70,000 people. They do this both through their own direct distribution programs and a “network of nearly 500 member agencies including food pantries, shelters and emergency kitchens in the Delaware Valley.” You can see the full range of Philabundance’s programs here. You’ll see that they are attacking the issue of food security on all fronts, and it seems to be working. Just look at some of Philabundance’s community stories. If you’d like help fight hunger, check out Philabundance’s Careers page. Right now they’re looking for a Volunteer Coordinator, and it looks like it could be a good fit for a new or recent grad.
