He's famously eaten 40 rotisserie chickens. But now, Alexander Tominsky wants to give some away to his neighbors in need.
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania -- The world watched him eat a chicken. And now, Alexander Tominsky wants the world to help his neighbors eat, too.
"I ate so much, I pained myself," he said. "And now it's time to feed the people that are pained because they don't have enough to eat". The folks at South Philadelphia Community Fridge, a two-year-old volunteer organization, reached out to Tominsky with a call to action. They dared him to name the time and place to distribute rotisserie chickens to the neighborhood.
Tominsky jumped on board and put out a request for his newly-found Twitter audience to donate. So far, they have rallied $1,600. With that money, South Philadelphia Community Fridge will be able to install a refrigerator at DiSilvestro Playground, where there is currently only a dry food pantry. Also, to complete the challenge, Tominsky is encouraging the community to help with the aforementioned rotisserie chicken distribution on Sunday, December 11, at 12:00pm at Mifflin Square Park.
People can also make a financial contribution to help South Philadelphia Community Fridge acquire the chickens to donate.
"You can do anything from showing up once a week to clean a fridge or put some food in it," said volunteer Victoria Jayne, "Or anything from getting involved by signing up to be a regular volunteer and transport food. ""Not just the neighbors, but the entire world. We all have something in common. It's a very short amount of time that we're all living on this world together," he said.
"We all have to look out for each other, to support each other. "
