Gary Barbera volunteers with the Share Food Program
Gary Barbera joins State Rep. Jared Solomon, Lawncrest Community Association members and neighbors to distribute 40-pound meal boxes supplied by the Philadelphia nonprofit Share Food Program.From PHL17 Morning News: "Covid-19 and the collateral damages of this pandemic have caused hunger and food insecurity to reach disturbing levels. Hunger doesn't rest so every week since last Spring 700 boxes of food are distributed to neighbors on a first come first served basis. 'Some of our Lovely Lawncrest neighbors wait hours for these food boxes. We are all outside- volunteers and the community socially distanced, wearing masks either distributing food boxes or waiting in line for a box regardless of how hot it is, rain or snow, we are all there helping each other,' said Barbera."
