According to the Food Research and Action Center’s 2011 Food Hardship Study, Philadelphia is one of the top five districts in America where the residents do not have the money to buy food.
SEPTA will partner with Philabundance for its third annual “Stop Hunger at Your Station” in an effort to reduce the issue in the city through June 20. SEPTA hopes to gather 20 tons of food during the week by having barrels at more than 50 of its stations including the Oregon and AT&T locations on SEPTA’s Broad Street Line.
