Share Food Program Secures $8M to Strengthen Philadelphia’s Fight Against Hunger

Share Food Program is excited to announce a major milestone in our ongoing fight against hunger and food insecurity in the Philadelphia region. We have successfully raised $8,000,000 in new funding—a substantial investment that will fuel our mission and amplify our reach throughout communities in need. As the largest-serving hunger relief organization in the area, and one of the nation’s largest independent food banks, Share Food Program is uniquely positioned to make a lasting impact. Today, when nearly 22 percent of Philadelphians live in poverty – a rate that is twice the national average – our work is more vital than ever. This funding boost will directly support our expansive network of community-based organizations and school districts, enabling us to not only distribute quality food to hundreds of thousands of individuals each month but also to bolster education initiatives and food justice advocacy programs. A significant portion of the individuals we serve, including a remarkable number of children and seniors, will benefit from enhanced services and expanded outreach. Moreover, the fresh capital will empower us to innovate and broaden our programs, ensuring that our hunger relief efforts grow stronger and more efficient. At Share Food Program, our mission is clear: to lead the fight against food insecurity by providing essential resources and support to vulnerable communities. We look forward to leveraging this funding to deepen our impact, improve operational capacity, and extend our vital services to even more people in need.
