(I apologize for the condition of some of these photos. My street camera is not up to snuff for shooting events.)

The Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger strives to build a
community where all people have the food they need to lead healthy
lives. Founded in 1996, the Coalition has helped more than 50,000
families in the Philadelphia region with food assistance through its
SNAP (Food Stamp) Hotline, while educating the public and policymakers
about responsible solutions that prevent people from going hungry. The
Coalition also provides training and resources to more than 100 local
food pantries and soup kitchens and organizes the annual Walk+Run
Against Hunger, which raises much-needed funds to the area’s leading
hunger-relief agencies. |
