Due to a Massive Surplus of Avocados, FDR Park Will Host Avogeddon Where Everyone Gets Free Avocados
Recently there’s been news of supply chain issues and shortages of various foods and products. However, it looks like one food is experiencing the opposite. The food industry is experiencing a massive surplus of avocados which means millions of perfectly great avocados are at risk of going to waste. However, local non-profit Sharing Excess found the perfect solution, Avogeddon.
From Wednesday October 19th Through Friday October 21st, Sharing Excess will host Avogeddon and everyone gets free avocados. That’s right so the next Phillies, Flyers, Union or Eagles game you can make the freshest guac. About 25 semi-trucks will converge at FDR Park at Pattison & 20th Street from 12 pm to 6 pm each day.
Avogeddon will be the largest food distribution to date in FDR park. “We’re going to distribute free avocados to everyone in Philadelphia. Literally everyone; individuals, nonprofits, restaurants, anyone you can think of. We want to go on radio stations, news channels, social media, and any and every outlet to let people know. We’ve cleared our schedules, and our team will be loading cars all day, each day, starting Wednesday afternoon, and will go into Thursday and Friday until they’re all gone,” states Sharing Excess Operations Director Victoria Wilson. So if you have a recipe that calls for avocados, here’s your chance to save some money.
