Help Close the SNAP Gap —
Right Now
On November 1, hundreds of thousands of Philadelphians — from our oldest to our youngest neighbors — lost a critical part of their food budget. Their SNAP cards were empty.
THIS IS URGENT
Demand has surged by 50% in just one week at our Hunting Park Market.
How is Small Things Responding?
When SNAP falls short, neighbors turn to us. In Hunting Park, partners stepped up so we can open the Market an additional day to serve those 50 families. Now we must do the same for Center City and Fairhill.
We’re raising $109,000 immediately to re-stock our warehouse with fresh produce and other healthy staples. Your gift keeps shelves full and markets open.
Food on shelves: Direct purchases of fresh produce and pantry staples
More open hours: Staff time to open key markets an extra day
Faster replenishment: Re-stocking our warehouse to meet surging demand
It’s simple: Money ⇒ Food purchases ⇒ More open hours ⇒ Neighbors served.
How does your gift help us?
Other ways to help:
1. Host a food drive
Set up a box at your place of employment, church, community center, or other location where people can drop off non-perishable donations. Small Things will send you a sign to post on the box, explaining where the food will go.
When it’s ready, drop off the box at our Roxborough warehouse, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 3 pm. For details, email Barb Delp.
2. Volunteer
Volunteers are the engine of our work. We’re experiencing a volunteer shortage, especially in our markets— sign up here to help get fresh food and pantry staples to neighbors.
3. Join Small Things Add Up!
