UPDATE: Saturday Free Food Distribution

South Kensington Community Partners

Beginning in June, through a partnership with Share Food Program and the City of Philadelphia, SKCP and the Arab American CDC distributed free boxes of healthy food every Saturday in the parking lot of Al Aqsa Islamic Society. Unfortunately, with the coming of the new year, the Farm to Families program that supplied that food was suspended.

We are working to identify new partners and suppliers and now expect that Saturday distribution will begin again within the next two weeks.

At that time, we will continue to offer some delivery to nearby (19122/23) seniors and other immune compromised households unable to make it to the distribution site. If you would like to request delivery or assist someone on your block, or help with delivery please call and leave a message at 215-427-3463.

Together with the AACDC, we offer our Gratitude and Appreciation to the Share Food Program & to Penn Treaty Special Services District (PTSSD) for the additional support that enabled us to extend our offerings and support more households. Much appreciation also to neighborhood businesses Al Amana Grocery, and Lost Bread Co for their generous donations of time, space, and product. And of course, to all our neighbors including everyone who received food and all those who volunteered to help distribute.
