Staff and volunteers at Prevention Point Philadelphia formed a production line behind hot trays of food at the organization’s headquarters in Kensington.
“We have potato salad, we have some chicken, baked chicken, and some Spanish rice,” said Carlos Del Valle, community relations coordinator and overdose prevention specialist, as he scooped food onto a Styrofoam tray.
On Wednesday afternoon, the trays of hot food were being served to hundreds of people seated next door in a heated outdoor tent in the nonprofit’s Love Lot.
