Phans Feeding Families Virtual Food Drive

Citizens, Philabundance, and Phillies team up for 2021 Phans Feeding Families

Be a hunger hero and help feed families in need by showing your support virtually or in-person at Citizens Bank Park

Citizens, Philabundance, and the Philadelphia Phillies, along with pitching ace Aaron Nola, are seeking hunger heroes to step up to the plate to help fight the region’s growing food insecurity crisis, which has been exacerbated by COVID-19. The 2021 Phans Feeding Families campaign, which is looking to raise $75,000 for Philabundance’s hunger relief efforts, will feature ways for the public to show their support virtually and in-person.

Citizens Mid-Atlantic Region President Daniel K. Fitzpatrick kicked off the virtual food drive with a $50,000 contribution from the bank, which will provide up to 100,000 meals to individuals and families in desperate need.

Fans can support the campaign by doing the following:

Donate to the Phans Feeding Families Virtual Food Drive. Supporters can virtually donate Philabundance’s most-needed food items, such as rice, peanut butter, or vegetables by visiting https://www.philabundance.org/phans-feeding-families/ or by texting PHANSFEED to 44-321. Supporters can also choose to donate from as little as a dollar to gifts of $1,000 or more. Food donations will not be accepted in-person at Philabundance or Citizens Bank Park.
Bid on over a dozen new and game-used, autographed memorabilia during the Phillies Charities, Inc. Auction benefitting Philabundance via the MLB Ballpark app from 4/20-5/24.
