Bless Philadelphia News
Due to increased demand, sadly, we can no longer offer food pantry services twice weekly.
It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of our Sunday pantry.
We hope to be able to once again offer pantry 2 x’s/week at some point in the future.
In the meantime, we will continue to operate our pantry on Wednesday evenings as usual.
We look forward to serving you and your family soon!
