Now more than ever, your neighbors need our help.
The 6th annual Phil-a-Trunk is a literal food drive/car show where we are asking any and all car clubs of the Delaware Valley and Mainline Cars and Coffee to unite and drive out hunger within our region. Fill up your trunks, frunks, and beds with non-perishable food items and either drive down to the Wells Fargo Center or meet there on Sunday November 17, 2024.
Phil-a-Trunk is kicking off WMMR Preston and Steve's Camp Out for Hunger. Camp Out (Dec 2nd - 6th) - is the largest single-location food drive in the U.S.,and benefits Philabundance, the Delaware Valley's largest hunger relief organization. In the past five years Phil-a-Trunk has collected over 800,000 pounds of food. Phil-a-Trunk and Camp Out help Philabundance feed the 700,000 people in its nine-county service area who do not know where their next meal is coming from, or if they will have one at all.
We will stage all car clubs in the Wells Fargo Center parking lot, then each club will drive as a group to unload and weigh your totals. Phil-a-Trunk is shaping up to be one of the largest car events of the Philadelphia area.
This is a rain or shine event, so please attend, people should not have to go hungry on the account of the weather, drive a backup vehicle if you prefer.
Gates Open at 7:30AM
Smaller clubs will be scattered throughout the day

Philabundance keeps a list of its highest food priorities, which helps the hunger relief organization to provide the most nutritious food to those it serves. These items are high in both demand and nutritional value. While Philabundance continues to accept other items, we kindly ask you to focus your efforts on these items so, together, we can have the maximum impact for individuals facing hunger.
Cars and Coffee please enter off S Broad Street entrance. Car clubs bringing donations enter lot F at the Wells Fargo Center, via off South 11th Street (see map below).
Riesentöter is the southeastern Pennsylvania region of the Porsche Club of America encompassing 9 counties including, Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Berks, and Bucks. We have over 2900 members in our area that generates camaraderie through driving events such as Driver's Education, Autocross, Street Survival, and charity. This is our seventh year in doing a literal food drive for Philabundance in conjunction with WMMR Preston and Steve's Camp Out for Hunger and with our premier sponsor Fauklner,
For the past 9 years we have had a friendly competition between the all the car clubs of the Delaware Valley and last year we brought in 177,370 pounds - over 80 tons of food
So now we make our drive even bigger by asking all area car clubs to get in on the drive and competition. Phil-a-Trunk is now the official kick-off event for Camp Out so please join us as we try to drive out hunger in the Delaware Valley.
Philabundance was founded by an idealist named Pamela Rainey Lawler who saw perfectly good food going to waste, and, at the same time, saw people going hungry.
What started out as a small food rescue organization operating out of a Subaru, 30+ years later, is an innovative, impactful and collaborative organization distributing more than 24 million pounds of food a year to those in need.Although the organization is proud of its growth over the years, there is still more work to be done: in Philadelphia, one in five people faces hunger. Philabundance can help people in need in Pennsylvania and New Jersey thanks to the support of community partners who donate time and food or funds.
Every donations counts:
Philabundance is bolstered by community partners and is also a proud member of Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks leading the fight against hunger in the United States.
The 4th annual Phil-a-Trunk, a literal food drive involving over 20 car clubs was held on Sunday November 6th, 2022 on a warm 74 degree day at the end of autumn.
First we want to thank our main sponsors Faulkner Auto Group and Cabot Creamery. Plus we had support from the Capital Grille in King of Prussia, along with Porsche of Conshohocken, Porsche of the Lehigh Valley, Porsche of the Main Line, and Porsche of Warrington and from Soul Performance.
So let us get right to it...a tremendous amount of food and monetary donations from all the car clubs came to a whopping over 140,000 pounds of food — over 70 tons people! That was including about $1200 made from the mini fun lap autocross which many seemed to enjoy.
