Donating to Camp Out For Hunger? Philabundance Lists Their Most Needed Items
Preston & Steve’s Camp Out for Hunger is one of our biggest events. Last year’s donations totaled 1.1 million pounds of food and $160,000 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 shopping, please consider picking up a few extra items to bring to the Camp Out (Nov 28th – Dec 2nd) 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:
