Brian – since you have ties to Philly, you should look into the organization Philabundance.
They do a phenomenal job of helping those who are short on food -with emphasis on fresh produce etc. We used to bring our extra garden produce (you know – the hundreds of extra zuchinni’s every ends up with because they plant too many plants.) to the Germantown Unitarian church (on Lincoln Drive) to go to Philabundance. A friend’s brother drives a truck for them – picking up extra food ingredients from various restaurants.
