PHILADELPHIA, PA — On Tuesday, July 16th, several Bradford White employees from the Ambler, PA office spent time volunteering at the Philabudance hunger relief center in Philadelphia.
Philabundance is an organization dedicated to helping families across the region who are facing food insecurity. The organization was founded in 1984by an idealist named Pamela Rainey Lawler who saw perfectly good food going to waste, and at the same time, saw people going hungry.
Rainey launched her initiative to bridge the gap between that surplus of food and communities struggling with food insecurity. What started out as a small food rescue organization operating out of her Subaru is now, 40 years later, an innovative, collaborative organization distributing more than 50 million pounds of food a year to those in need of emergency food services.
Philabundance is a member of Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks leading the fight against hunger in the United States.
Bradford White volunteers spent most of their time at the center packing pallets of frozen meat products, which will later be distributed to the community.
