Next EventsWEST GIRARD FOOD CUPBOARD, Wednesday, February 10, at North Star Bar; 27th and Poplar, NE Corner. The West Girard Food Cupboard is a local food access project that gives out free food from the state and federal governments. The free government food is distributed in Philadelphia through SHARE to local community organizations; the food is intended for PA residents who meet certain income requirements. To sign up and get food, you need to bring in your government-issued photo id, a recent utility bill to show your 19130 or 19121 address, and your social security card, as well as social security cards for all other household members including children. ... For more information, call WGCC at 215-232-2728, or email Bob at WGCC at BooksBob@aol.com Like other food cupboards, we are restricted to giving food to people in our own zip codes, which are 19130 and 19121. If you live in another zip code, call SHARE at 215-223-2220, and they will tell you about other food cupboards in your own zip code.
