Today, nearly 1 in 4 Philadelphia residents, or 260,000 people, are at risk for hunger. That number grows every day, as tough economic times means more people are skipping meals to pay the bills. Or going to bed without dinner so their children have enough to eat.
Hunger means more than an empty stomach. Because food is a basic need, hunger affects every aspect of a person’s life, from health to performance in school.
You can make a difference. Your contribution to the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger will support our efforts to:
- Provide more food, funding, equipment and resources to the many of the 700 food pantries and soup kitchens throughout the Philadelphia region
- Help eligible Philadelphia residents obtain food stamps, one of the country's best lines of defense against hunger and a benefit to the local economy
- Advocate for sound, sustainable policies to ensure that all reduce and prevent hunger throughout the region.
Join us. Through education, outreach and advocacy, we can work together to reduce and prevent hunger throughout the region. |
