The conveyor belt started rolling at the Philabundance warehouse in South Philadelphia on Thursday, volunteers lined up and ready.
"I believe I'm going to be packing kidney beans into a box for seniors," shared Lisa Moulder, who also brought her daughter.
This special volunteer opportunity is in honor of Pennsylvania Day, the year's largest day of service for America250PA. "Our goal for Pennsylvania Day is to get Pennsylvanians to help other Pennsylvanians," explained Gunner Hoffman of America250PA. "We have 28 sites across the entire Commonwealth, and we are sending a total of over 500 volunteers," added Hoffman.
