Do you want to help alleviate food insecurity in your community? Spend between 2 - 4 hours a month and you can help families who are homebound eat healthier. All COVID precautions are adhered to and we're performing knock-and-drop deliveries.

Our Bala Cynwyd food pantry supports families in Wynnewood, Narberth, Ardmore, Havertown, Bryn Mawr, West Philly, Southwest Philly, Germantown, Mt Airy, and Chestnut Hill. We provide all the necessary contact info and delivery instructions, you just need to have a valid drivers license and access to a car...or a friend who has as car!

Our Bala Cynwyd pantry deliveries to the Main Line are available twice a month, usually during the 2nd and 4th full weeks of the month. The bags can be picked up on those Mondays from 5 - 5:30 pm or Thursdays from 9:30 am - 3 pm. The bags can be delivered at your convenience then which makes this volunteer opportunity very flexible.
