This time of year we often start to think about helping others even more than usual, but in Northeast Philadelphia there's a nonprofit looking out for those in need of food all year long.
Arlene Urbanski says her friend came up with the idea of making meals for those in need after she visited a woman in her own neighborhood who was alone with "no food in the cupboard."About twice a month, Tony and Arlene Urbanski pick out meals and box them up for those in need.
The Urbanskis started helping 48 years ago and they've watched the founder's son, Vince Schiavone, grow up along with the organization. "Every meal that we do is a protein, a starch and a vegetable," says Schiavone. "We'll package probably 1,000 meals today.""Typically, what people receive is a box of 14 meals," says Schiavone."And they'll be delivered by people like the Urbanskis, all throughout our five counties," says Schiavone.
