This summer, hunger fighters joined firefighters at Engine 61 to feed children.
The Philadelphia Eagles season got underway last night but perhaps their best moment on the field came before the game.
Prior to kickoff, The Eagles and ACME Markets announced that they raised 99,351 pounds of healthy food this April through their Teaming Up to Kick Hunger campaign to benefit local food pantries
This marked the third year of the in-store campaign, which has now raised more than 400,000 pounds of food in total to help kick hunger.
More than 80 percent of low-income children in Pennsylvania are at-risk of going hungry this summer. More horrifying though is that this high number actually puts the state among the best nationwide at fighting hunger while school is out.
