The Philabundance Non-Perishable Donations - Down 20% From This Time Last Year. This year’s food drive is needed more than ever to keep up with the increasing demand for food assistance as the industry food donations are dropping.
• The summer is a time of leisure and vacation and people and the slow season for food drives. Summer is a crucial time for children (207,000 kids are at risk… 23% of the 900,000) who are particularly vulnerable to hunger in the summer because they aren’t receiving meals through the school meal programs.
