Philadelphia, PA – Procacci Brothers Sales Corp donated over a half of million pounds of produce from October 2011 to September 2012 to Philabundance, the Delaware Valley’s largest hunger relief organization. The donation is the largest amount of produce Procacci has donated in a year to date, up from 18,917 pounds in 2010-11.
In addition to full trailer donations that went through Philabundance’s distribution network, Procacci Brothers helped with weekly fresh donations in order to support Philabundance’s Community Kitchen (PCK). The PCK is a hands-on culinary arts vocational training program that teaches basic culinary skills while providing job placement support.
