One allotment per family but you can pick up for an elder or neighbor. Offerings vary by week but include fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, bread, chicken, and eggs. Masks are required and we ask that you maintain social distancing to protect yourself, our neighbors and volunteers.

We are able to do some local deliveries (19122/23): Please leave a message at 215-427-3463 to request delivery or to volunteer to help with distribution.

SKCP would like to thank our valued partner, the Arab American CDC. Together we say THANK YOU to the City of Philadelphia and the Share Food Program & THANK YOU to Penn Treaty Special Services District for additional support that enables us to extend our offering and support more households. Much appreciation to neighborhood businesses Al Amana Grocery, and Lost Bread Co for their generous donations of time, space, and product.

Fund Thanksgiving Turkeys for Neighbors in Need.

South Kensington Community Partners

Over the past few months, the Arab-American Development Corps (AACDC) and the South Kensington Community Partners, (SKCP) have been distributing free food parcels to families in need at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Philadelphia. Every Saturday we serve healthy food for 250 families in our community and due to the hardships caused by COVID-19, we will be continuing to provide food assistance to these families over the months ahead.
As Thanksgiving approaches, we want to ensure every family has a special Thanksgiving meal. We want to provide a Thanksgiving turkey to every family but our funding is tight and we do not have the additional resources to provide the turkeys.

We need YOUR help! How you can help, clickhere.
