When multiple truckloads full of avocados were about to go bad in Philadelphia, word spread quickly through the local community. 

Hoping to reduce the amount of food waste – and knowing people's affinity for the nutritious green fruit – the nonprofit Sharing Excess hosted an event to give away as many free avocados as they could. 

And boy, did people show up.

🥑 Avogeddon is here... More than 10,000 people lined up to get their free case of 'cados. By the end of the day, ten staff members and a handful of volunteers had distributed 444,672 avocados, with another 153,600 sent to local food banks😳.
