A convoy of trucks filled with food made their way across the area this morning, and all the food will go to Philabundance for distribution.
"We started this 16 years ago with five trucks and now we've got 84 trucks with 345,000 pounds of food," says Paul Muller, President of the Tri-State Toyota Dealers Association.
6abc and Hulu are proud to support the effort.
"Food insecurity is on the rise, so it's kind of a tough moment to lead a food bank like this right now. We're so concerned about how we are going to meet our neighbors' needs, but days like this just give me so much encouragement," said Loree Jones-Brown of Philabundance.
Each pallet weighs around 545 pounds, and they are filled with nutrition for our neighbors.
"We're going to be able to provide food to over 300 community partners across all nine counties," said Dorothy Wong of Philabundance.
Philabundance says food insecurity has risen 44% in the last two years in this region, proving that this is both a worthy and necessary cause.
