Firstrust Bank Partners with Sharing Excess to Expand Food Access for TSA Employees at Philadelphia International Airport Working Without Pay

On Friday, Firstrust Bank announced a substantial donation to Sharing Excess to expand food pantry services for Transportation Security Administration employees at Philadelphia International Airport who are working without pay.
Federal funding lapses require TSA officers to continue working despite delayed paychecks, forcing families into difficult financial choices. Sharing Excess previously partnered with the airport during past shutdowns to provide support.
Food deliveries will scale from one distribution per week to three to five times weekly, delivering more consistent, reliable access to fresh groceries for TSA employees and their families.
"Families are forced to make impossible choices," said Evan Ehlers, Founder and CEO of Sharing Excess. Richard J. Green, Executive Chairman and Owner of Firstrust Bank, added the initiative helps "ease the burden."
Operating out of Terminal E, the expanded pantry aligns with Firstrust's more than 90-year history of serving Philadelphia as the region's largest family-owned bank. The initiative provides stability for workers during ongoing federal funding uncertainty.
