List of Camp Out For Hunger’s Most Needed Donation Items
Last year’s Camp Out for Hunger donations totaled 1.6 million pounds of food – that’s over 839 TONS – plus $272,683 for those in need. That single collection accounted for more than half of Philabundance’s food drive donation for the year.
And we could not do it without your help!
So while you are out shopping, please consider picking up a few extra items to bring to the Camp Out (Nov 26th – Nov 30th) in the parking lot of XFINITY Live! Philabundance has provided us with a list of the healthy food items they are seeking for the community:
