As we move into the holiday season, many in our wider community are seeking ways to support neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity. Philadelphia Yearly Meeting would like to share a list of meetings and affiliated groups that operate food pantries, meal programs, holiday food drives, or other efforts that help feed our communities. A list has already been started; we would need to make it current.

Different Quaker meetings, organizations, and affiliates in our region are gathering food pantry items this season. During Fall Continuing Sessions, Friends attending are invited to bring non-perishable food to Arch Street Meeting House in support of the Friends Pantry.
If your meeting is collecting food or donations for a local pantry, please let PYM staff know so we can share your meeting’s work with the wider community. Friends can post this information on PYM Connect or email communications@pym.org.
