September is Hunger Action Month 🧡

Access to nutritious food is an important part of building healthier, more stable communities.

At ECS Philly, food access happens throughout the year. Through our Open Choice Pantry, community meals, nutrition education, and partnerships, we connect individuals and families with food and resources while giving people greater choice in what works for their households.

Hunger Action Month is an opportunity to raise awareness about food insecurity—but also to connect people with resources and ways to get involved.

🥕 Need food assistance? Call (215) 351-1400 or visit St. Barnabas Community Resource Center: 6006 W. Girard Ave. Philadelphia PA
