With restaurant closings, this Philly non-profit has its hands full with excess food

Sharing Excess is a nonprofit that helps connect grocery stores and restaurants with surplus food to hunger-relief organizations with storage space. They've received much more food than usual due to restaurants closing from the spread of the coronavirus, and paid a visit to Saxby headquarters in Center City to pick up more on Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
