More than 16,000 Philadelphia households missed out on food Monday because of demonstrations

Philadelphia Sheriff Officers and volunteers load boxes of food, bound for North Philadelphia residents, from the Share Food Program distributed at the Young Chances Foundation in the Point Breeze neighborhood of Philadelphia in April.
