Meet Philbert
If you’ve ever shopped at Philadelphia’s storied Reading Terminal Market, you’ve probably noticed Philbert — a 225-pound bronze pig that subsists on a steady diet of coins and bills. Created by artist Eric Berg, this (not-so-little!) piggy first came to the Market in 1995. In the 30 years since then, Philbert has supported The Food Trust’s programs to ensure delicious, nutritious food for all — as well as our growth into the nationally recognized nonprofit we are today.
Next time you visit Reading Terminal Market and enjoy its delicious offerings, say hello to Philbert and give him a snack! And, you can always support our programming any time by visiting thefoodtrust.org/donate. Together, we’ll ensure that nutritious food is within reach for all our neighbors.
