Governor Josh Shapiro joined WMMR’s Preston & Steve Show and volunteers in South Philadelphia to support Camp Out for Hunger — the nation’s largest single-location food drive benefiting Philabundance and families across the Greater Philadelphia region.
While on air, Governor Shapiro highlighted work to protect Pennsylvania SNAP recipients.
“At a time when too many families are struggling to put food on the table, we are showing that we care for our neighbors here in Pennsylvania and we are going to deliver for them,” said Governor Shapiro. “The budget I signed invests a historic amount of state funding in food security and agriculture — supporting farmers, expanding access to fresh food, and building stronger, healthier communities. Events like Camp Out for Hunger show why these investments matter: behind every meal is a family, a neighbor, a Pennsylvanian who deserves our support.”
Now in its 28th year, Camp Out for Hunger unites Philabundance, WMMR, and volunteers to support families in need. This year, Philabundance has delivered 52 million pounds of food — 39 million meals — produced hundreds of thousands of meals for seniors and community sites, provided 240,000 summer meals for kids, and distributed more than 15 million pounds of fresh produce across its service area.
