Philabundance Kicks Off 40th Anniversary With Birthday Box Initiative
Philabundance, a cornerstone of the Philadelphia region’s fight against hunger, is celebrating a milestone birthday: 40 years of nourishing the community! And what better way to commemorate this incredible feat than by throwing a massive birthday bash…with a twist!
On Saturday, May 11th, Philabundance Galloway Warehouse transformed into a bustling birthday bonanza. Volunteers, brimming with community spirit, joined forces to pack special birthday boxes ensuring that no one in need goes without a birthday treat.
The concept is delightfully simple yet impactful. Birthday boxes allow everyone to celebrate their birthday. The box includes birthday cake mix, frosting, brownie mix, oil, applesauce, which can be used as an egg substitute, and candles to blow out on their special day.
Philabundance’s 40th birthday bash wasn’t just about packing boxes; it was about celebrating the collective power of community. The warehouse buzzed with an infectious energy as volunteers of all came together to pack 1000 boxes that will be distributed across the Delaware Valley.
