United2Feed - United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey

imagine facing hunger. Every day.

That’s the reality for far too many people in our community. The fact is, hunger and food access issues aren’t limited to specific zip codes: food insecurity exists in every county in the U.S.

Join us, SHARE Food Program and 500+ volunteers on Wednesday, June 26, at Valley Forge Casino Resort as we fight hunger by packing 7,000 food boxes – enough food to provide 105,000 meals to hungry families throughout our region.

Because we are UNITED2FEED, we fight poverty, one food box at a time.

Give the Gift of a Full Pantry

Hunger and food access issues have long-term effects on the cycle of poverty.

Students from food insecure homes have lower test scores, more behavioral and emotional issues and are more likely to struggle in school – leaving them less likely to graduate, attend college or find a good job.
Workers who are hungry are less focused and accurate, and struggle with productivity, making it difficult to progress in a career.
Give, advocate and volunteer to feed more families and help break the cycle of poverty.

why united2feed?

In our region alone 717K community members – or one in five people – face hunger every day. They are the working parents who skip meals to pay the rent; the students who eat one meal a day during the summer because they don’t have access to reduced or free meal program; the seniors who, after buying their medication, don’t have enough money to buy food for the week.
