About Philabundance
Philabundance’s recent grantmaking is defined by large, repeated support for food access groups across southeastern Pennsylvania. The single largest recent grant in the data was $3,065,852 to Small Things in Philadelphia for food insecurity, followed by another major award to Cornwells United Methodist Church Harvest Ministry in Bensalem for Feed Food. That pattern continues across churches, pantries, community organizations, and neighborhood-based providers that distribute food and support households facing hunger. The foundation funds both direct food distribution and the local infrastructure that keeps food moving to residents. CityTeam Ministries in Chester received $2,918,008 for food insecurity in 2023 and $1,852,336 for Feed Food in 2024, showing sustained support for the same recipient over multiple years. Philadelphia-based groups also appear prominently, including Keep It Real CDC, Upper Room Missionary Baptist, Kitchen of Love, Iglesia Cristiana Avivamiento, and Feast of Justice. Philabundance’s giving is centered on food insecurity and food rescue, with grants reaching organizations that serve households through pantry models, faith-based distribution, and community food programs.
