ABOUT SHARE FOOD PROGRAM

Share Food Program is the largest-serving hunger relief organization in the Philadelphia region, and one of the largest independent food banks in the nation. Before the Covid-19 crisis began, Share distributed food to 700,000 neighbors in need each month, 36% of whom were children, and 12% of whom were seniors. The need has risen sharply since early 2020—Share now serves more than 1 million each month.The food distributed comes from many places, including government partners, supermarkets, wholesalers, restaurants, farms and food drives. There are complex logistics and significant funding needs to purchasing, coordinating, storing, packaging and distributing millions of pounds of food each month. Share’s work and impact is made possible through our quality partnerships with nearly 800 schools and 150 community-based organizations across the region, and by the vision and generosity of our volunteers, supporters, donors and sponsors.Share started in 1986 as a food co-op for communities in need of access to low-cost food in Philadelphia. Since 1991, Share has been a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to getting food to vulnerable children, families and seniors in need citywide and beyond to surrounding townships and counties throughout the Philadelphia region.
