North Penn High School (NPHS) students in the Sharing Excess North Penn Club will be holding “Free Food Fest '' at NPHS (1340 Valley Forge Road, Lansdale) on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 11 am to 2 pm. This event will take place on the side of the building by the bus loop.F
The community is invited to attend this event and receive fruit, vegetables, and other produce at no cost. There are no questions asked when receiving food donations, and no requirements to receive food.
Since beginning food distribution events, the club has been able to provide 1,100 pounds of food to the community free of charge.
The food is provided by Sharing Excess, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia and dedicated to reducing food waste while increasing food access and helping those in need. NPHS has started a chapter of Sharing Excess to tackle food insecurity in the North Penn School District and give students a chance to give back to the community.
