Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Call the office at 215-475-9492 on a weekday between 9 am and 3 pm and ask how to join the subcommittee or start with the Wednesday food pantry..

You can just show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The pantry is a weekly sign-in on Wednesday mornings at 9 am. The site does not describe a subcommittee meeting, so ask the office about its time and place before you go.

Tips for your first visit

  • Plan to sign in when you arrive at the Wednesday pantry.
  • Call first to confirm when and where the subcommittee meets.
  • The site lists office hours of weekdays 9 am to 3 pm.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The Wednesday pantry takes sign-ins, which is simple, but the site does not say how to join the elected subcommittee or whether its meetings are open to visitors..
