We can help

Need food? Start here.

There is no cost and no income paperwork. Call us, apply for home-delivered meals, or find a partner pantry near you today.

What to expect

Plain answers, no runaround

Home-delivered meals are free. You do not need to prove income, and you will not be put on a phone tree. A staff member calls to understand your situation, your dietary needs, and your neighborhood.

How quickly deliveries begin depends on volunteer coverage on your street. We will tell you honestly where you stand rather than leave you guessing.

If you need food this week and cannot wait, call (215) 464-2224 and we will point you to the nearest partner site.
