Camp Out For Hunger is the largest single sponsored food drive in the country and it is successful because of you. – Steve Morrison

This year will be our 26th Camp Out For Hunger collecting non-perishable food donations for Philabundance. The event would not happen without people like you coming down with donations.

We realized that very early in the history of this event. So we plan lots of fun activities to give you a second reason for making the trip. The first reason of course is to help your neighbors in need!

This page has a full list of all the evening events we’re executing that week. All events are free to attend in return for bringing a donation. Scroll down and you’ll see that Food Trucks and Fireworks is happening early in the week this year. There’s a new event plus an classic activity returning.

We look forward to seeing you in the tent!
