WSFS Bank Accepting Nonperishable Food Donations at Banking Locations for Fall Food Drive
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the holiday season approaches, WSFS Bank is encouraging its Associates, Customers and Communities to search their hearts, and their pantries, to donate nonperishable food items to provide meals to the food-insecure. WSFS banking locations in the state of Delaware; Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania; and Camdenand Burlington counties in New Jersey will be designated as convenient Community food deposit centers as part of the Bank’s annual Fall/Winter Food Drive.
The pandemic has exacerbated the need for food for many, with more than 54 million people estimated to be food insecure in 2020, according to Feeding America. The nationwide trend is no less concerning in our region, where the 2020 projected food insecurity rate in Delaware (17.8%) exceeds the nationwide projection (16.7%), with Pennsylvania (15.9%) and New Jersey (13.5%) not far behind.

New documentary celebrates Msgr. Michael Doyle, the beloved ‘Heart of Camden’
Philadelphia Inquirer
Douglas Clayton fell in love with Msgr. Michael J. Doyle while directing an ambitious new documentary about him called Heart of Camden. The filmmaker has plenty of company: Tens of thousands of people in the city and beyond have embraced the Catholic priest and poet who has been Camden’s indefatigable champion for nearly half a century.
“I wanted to tell a story that inspires people to make a difference,” said Clayton, a producer (thefilmdoc.com) well as the director of the 42-minute documentary, for which he is seeking broadcast, screening, and streaming opportunities. “Father Doyle is an amazing person.”
We were thrilled to have representation from our partners at The Cork Chamber of Commerce, ICL (Independent Container Lines), The Port of Cork, and Penn Terminals to share their knowledge on the brand new Cork-Chester Shipping Route at our virtual seminar – A Global Conversation: Keeping the Show on the Road and the Sea on October 1st. This mutually-beneficial trans-Atlantic container shipping service is the first direct link between the USA and Ireland in years.
