🌻 Some of the best things grow when we come together.

Join us at Nice Roots Farm and spend a morning cultivating more than just veggies. Every seed planted, w**d pulled, and harvest gathered helps bring fresh food to our neighbors while strengthening the roots of our community.

Whether you're looking to learn something new, spend time outdoors, meet new people, or simply get your hands dirty for a good cause, we'd love to have you on the farm.

📦 Volunteers needed this Thursday!

We're looking for helping hands to assist with our Home Delivery distribution on Thursday, June 18 from 9 a.m.–12 p.m. Volunteers will help load food boxes into vehicles for delivery to seniors and neighbors facing food insecurity across our region.

This shift has been moved from its usual Friday schedule as Share Food Program will be closed in observance of Juneteenth.

Whether you're a longtime volunteer or joining us for the first time, your support helps ensure our neighbors receive the nutritious food they need.

Share Food Program will host a Montco Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program distribution event on Tuesday, June 30, from 1 – 3 p.m. at our office at 2000 Bustard Road in Worcester Township. Eligible Montgomery County, PA seniors ages 60+ can receive $25 in vouchers to purchase local produce.

Have questions about SNAP’s new work requirements?

We’ve broken down some of the most common questions from the City of Philadelphia’s SNAP Benefits Frequently Asked Questions, including who may be affected, who may qualify for exemptions, how work activities are reported, and where to find help.

If you’re concerned about your benefits, don’t wait to ask questions — resources are available.

Over 250,000 kids in the Philadelphia area rely on the daily free breakfast and lunch that they receive at school. But over the summer, that is two less meals a day that kids can count on. At Share, we believe that access to food shouldn’t disappear overnight. That's why our partner pantries and community fridges are available throughout the summer so that children and their families can count on having access to nourishing food.

With slashed SNAP benefits and groceries becoming increasingly unaffordable, more and more families are turning to Share for emergency food services. We need your help to keep our pantries and our neighbors’ plates full.

All donations will be matched by generous matching donors up to $5,000 until midnight on Friday!
