Bidens load food boxes in Philadelphia on MLK Day
President-elect Joe Biden and incoming first lady Jill Biden volunteered at a hunger relief organization in Philadelphia on Monday to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The Bidens helped pack food boxes at Philabundance, the largest hunger relief organization in Philadelphia, as part of a national day of service two days before Biden will be sworn in as the next president.
Biden, clad in a black face mask and Philabundance hat, packed cans into food boxes on a conveyor belt at the volunteer site, which was outdoors. Jill Biden added rice to the packages. The two spent about 40 minutes at the volunteer site. More than 150 food boxes were packaged at the event, according to a transition aide.
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will also volunteer in Washington, D.C., later Monday alongside her husband and incoming second gentleman, Doug Emhoff.
President Trump and Vice President Pence are not scheduled to make any public appearances on Monday.
