Philadelphia, PA – November 20, 2024 – On Tuesday, November 19, 2024, Silvi Materials partnered with the Philadelphia Eagles, ACME, and the Parkside Association of Philadelphia to host a holiday food drive at Silvi’s ready-mix concrete plant in West Philadelphia. The event provided over 100 local families and individuals with essential holiday items, including turkeys, gift cards, and canned goods, ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. As a Proud Corporate Partner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Silvi Materials was honored to collaborate on this initiative to give back to the local community.

In addition to turkeys and gift cards from ACME and a variety of boxed food items from the Eagles, Silvi Materials’ employees contributed over 900 canned goods to the effort. With Silvi’s matching contributions, the total reached over 2,000 canned goods. These donations ensured that every family at the event received ample support and allowed for hundreds of additional items to be donated directly to the Parkside Association of Philadelphia for future distribution to the community.

On the day of the event, Eagles cheerleaders, mascot Swoop, and rookie players, including standout defensive back Cooper DeJean, joined over 20 Silvi employees to assist with distribution to West Philadelphia residents. The atmosphere was one of collective purpose and camaraderie, as volunteers expressed gratitude for the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for those in need.

Seeing our employees and partners come together to make an impact was truly rewarding.”

The Parkside Association of Philadelphia played a key role in organizing outreach, coordinating event logistics, and ensuring that donations reached families in need.

“This event was a great example of how organizations can come together to serve the community,” said Lucinda Hudson, Executive Director and President of the Parkside Association of Philadelphia. “The contributions from Silvi Materials, ACME, and the Philadelphia Eagles helped bring relief to families during the holiday season.”

Silvi Materials is deeply grateful to the Eagles, ACME, and its employees for their efforts in bringing the food drive to life.
