Launched in the summer of 2010, Adopt-A-Pantry makes it easy for anyone to donate online to a food pantry or soup kitchen of their choice. Since then, more than a dozen of these vital programs have benefited from donations:

“Because of the money we received through Adopt-a-Pantry, we were able to put more specialty items into the bags we distributed to our clients, like fresh meat and produce. These are things we normally can’t afford to buy.”
Derek Felton, Fresh Start, West Philadelphia

"For those of us that fight hunger and poverty on a daily basis, a donation is a gift that not only allows us to purchase more food for the people we serve. It is a gift that reminds us that others care about their neighbors and they entrust us to care for them. It lifts our spirits and strengthens our resolve that no one will be turned away, that our doors and our hearts will always be open."
Dottie Sachs, Feast of Justice, Northeast Philadelphia

“We’re very grateful for the donation. which especially helped us around the holidays. We were able to buy more fruit and other goodies for the Christmas bags we distributed at the Maple Manor Nursing home."
Mary Chaney, Faith Chapel, Northwest Philadelphia
