The Knights of Columbus San Salvador Council #283 Annual Food For Families Drive
All donations raised benefit those in need in South Philadelphia.
Help end hunger in communities across North America. Many people in our communities are struggling through hardship and unable to provide food to their families. Food for Families ensures that as few as possible go to bed hungry each night. A featured program, Food for Families counts for two credits toward the Columbian Award.
Knights of Columbus are committed to helping end hunger through the Food for Families Program which has donated millions of dollars and millions of pounds of food toward this cause. Council and parish families will raise funds to support their local food pantries, food banks and soup kitchens. For every $500 or 1,000 pounds of food donated, the Supreme Council will refund $100 back to the council. Though in-kind donation of food is valuable, leaders of hunger-relief organizations often comment that financial contributions can be stretched even further and allow nonprofits to procure the exact items needed by the organization and its clients.
Our 2026 Food For Families program will go to support:
Saint Edmond Community Center-Food Pantry
Sacred Heart of Jesus Church (South Phila.) Food Pantry
Saint Gabriel's Food Cupboard
Donation Drop Locations:
Epiphany of Our Lord Parish - 1121 Jackson Street, Philadelphia, PA 19148
St. Paul Parish - 808 S. Hutchinson Street Philadelphia, PA 19147
This drive provides vital support for many families in our South Philadelphia community. Thank you for your generosity!
