ALERT: Due to the federal government shutdown, public benefits for food assistance will not be issued until federal funds are released to the PA government. Many HAP clients will face significant food insecurity as a result of this pause in SNAP benefits.

If you are in need of food during this time, visit https://www.phila.gov/food/ Please also share this link for neighbors.

At HAP’s 11/15 HA HAs for HOMES at Helium Comedy Club, we will also be hosting a food drive benefiting South Philly Community Fridge. Please donate items, if able, such as cooking oils (olive, corn, etc.), coffee/tea, condiments like soy sauce, baking supplies like flour, sugar, bread, tortillas, and baby food between 3-4 pm.
