About Greater Philadelphia

Philadelphia's strength has always been its neighborhoods, where residents, nonprofits, growers, schools, and local organizations work together to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food. Food Connect is proud to contribute the transportation and logistics that keep these efforts moving. Together, we're building a more connected, resilient food system where good food reaches every community and no neighborhood is left behind.

Program highlights

Produce Markets at Community Schools
The One Philly Produce Project
Led by the Mayor’s Office of Education in partnership with Sharing Excess, One Philly Produce connects surplus produce with students and families across Philadelphia’s community schools.
Food Connect provides the transportation and delivery logistics that move food from Sharing Excess’s distribution warehouse to schools across the city, enabling local partners to get more fresh food from a trusted, convenient location.
Home Delivery
Partnering with the Second Harvest Food Bank
In partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, Food Connect delivers groceries from the food bank’s warehouse directly to older adults at home.
By providing the last-mile transportation, we enable Second Harvest and its community partners to extend their reach to neighbors who face transportation or mobility barriers.
Food as Medicine
Partnering with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Through a partnership with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Food Connect provides home delivery for a Food as Medicine program connecting patients and families with nutritious food as part of their care across Philadelphia, Montgomery County and Delaware County.
By handling the delivery logistics, we enable health care providers to bring food access directly into homes and expand the reach of nutrition-focused care.
