Help Feed Those in Need
If you participate in food drives throughout the year, perhaps 2023 is the year to go beyond cleaning out your pantry. Philabundance is a local organization that distributes more than 24 million pounds of food each year to people in need. In addition to feeing countless people, they also strive to increase access to nutritious meals and break down the root causes of hunger. Locals, including residents at 1909 Rittenhouse, can help sort donated food and prepare it for distribution or get involved with the Philabundance Community Kitchen, a vocational program that provides culinary training and life skills for low-income adults.
To find other nonprofits through which you can donate your time and resources, Volunteer Match features a database of countless local organizations that need and want your help.
If volunteering or getting involved in a local nonprofit is something you keep telling yourself you will pursue in the future, 1909 Rittenhouse apartments put residents in a great location to take that goal off the back burner and make it a priority. To see the other many reasons to love life at 1909 Rittenhouse, schedule your tour today by calling 267-641-9078.
