Camp Out for Hunger Drive (10/14-11/18)

This November, the Navy Yard will be supporting Camp Out For Hunger by collecting canned food donations! During this time of year when many people experience food insecurity, the Navy Yard community comes together for a common cause.

Local nonprofit Philabundance partners with WMMR’s Preston & Steve look to end hunger for good and to provide healthy meals to communities facing food insecurity in the area through Camp Out For Hunger.

Don’t have time to bring anything, Philadundance set up a donation page just for us.
