Help us put more money in the food bank!
MAFTO is seeking donations from its member regional food, beverage and consumer packaged goods brands to supply 1,000 to 2,000 units of a variety of non-perishable products, free goods coupons, non-alcoholic beverages, gift cards, or sundries to support the program.

Three years ago, MAFTO developed the Community Care Package program to support Philabundance and other food focused charities during a time we knew communities would be struggling due to the pandemic. Brands generously donated products, gift cards, and coupons, and companies of all kinds made contributions and donated the Care Packages to communities in need. Media partners, including Food Trade News, Outfront and the local TV stations promoted the program and its sponsors. As 1 in 4 children in the Philadelphia region face food uncertainty, our hometown needs our help more than ever.
A big thanks to our past Care Package participating brands, media partners and sponsors.

The Mid-Atlantic Food Trade Organization thanks all the Care Package Brands and all the companies who made this program a success!
In early 2020, we developed the Community Care Package program to support Philabundance, and other food focused charities, during a time we knew communities would be struggling due to the pandemic. To start this program, we asked brands to generously donate products, gift cards, and coupons. As a result, 25 incredible brands came through!
A big thanks to our 2020 Care Package Participating Brands:
With these donations we were able create care packages that were valued at $130+ each. However, the support for this program didn’t end with the product donations, we then had several other sponsors and donors for this program to raise funds desperately needed by the food charities.
Thanks go to our Media Sponsors: Food Trade News and Catalyst Experiential
Generous Care Package Donors Include: Chan & Chan, Prime Foods, Chapman Auto Stores, Ignite 2X Advertising, AA Cleaning, NSM Insurance Group, Robertet, Dietz & Watson, and Smithfield. Thanks to everyone who donated and purchased care packages. The program was a success with $80,000 raised in funds for food charities from package sales!
