PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — In its 17th year, the Toyota Tundra “Haul Away Hunger” Food Drive brought a caravan of 84 trucks to Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday. Crews were delivering a large donation to Philabundance. The annual event, organized by the Tri-State Toyota Dealers Association, supports efforts to address rising food insecurity across the region.<\/p>\n
The trucks were offloaded into waiting Philabundance trailers, where pallets of food will eventually make their way to families in need. “With recent SNAP changes and Federal policy changes we are seeing that need continue to increase,” said Dorothy Wong of Philabundance.<\/p>\n
Chopper 6 captured the caravan stretching roughly seven football fields as it arrived at the stadium, carrying 345,000 pounds of food. This year’s donation will provide 295,000 meals, an increase of 60,000 meals from last year.<\/p>\n
Paul Muller, president of the Tri-State Toyota Dealers Association, said the organization remains committed to supporting hunger relief. “It’s a 365 day a year problem. We obviously can’t solve it all but we’re doing the best we can to help out where we can,” he said.<\/p>\n
Philabundance CEO Loree Jones Brown emphasized that every contribution matters. “5 dollars, 10 dollars, a box of food… we could really use your help,” she said.<\/p>\n
6abc and Hulu are supporters of the food drive.<\/p>\n
1 in 8 Philadelphians faces food insecurity. “We know that this need is great, and we’re hopeful that this mission is being accomplished here today,” the station said.<\/p>\n
The annual event continues to serve as a major effort in “hauling away” hunger and supporting neighbors across the region.<\/p>\n
