Today, we celebrate National Food Bank Day! Food banks are lifelines for many communities, providing essential and reliable food assistance when families need it the most. This year we're especially grateful to our partners, Kansas Food Bank and Greater Chicago Food Depository, for the integral role they played in connecting us with families for our most recent Good Food at Home programs. Today and every day, let's show our appreciation for these amazing organizations and the essential services they provide!

About us
At the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), reducing childhood obesity is our north star. PHA partners with the private sector to transform the food landscape in pursuit of health equity. We work with the private sector and PHA Honorary Chair Former First Lady Michelle Obama to make healthier choices easier for busy parents and families. In 2010, PHA was created in conjunction with Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! effort. A nonpartisan nonprofit organization led by some of the nation’s most respected health and childhood obesity experts, PHA brings together public, private, and nonprofit leaders to broker meaningful commitments and develop strategies to end childhood obesity. We ensure that commitments made are commitments kept by working with unbiased third parties to monitor and publicly report on the progress our partners are making.

Recently, we've been sharing with you all the inspiring results from our Good Food at Home program with Instacart. This program's first iteration took place in Denver, Milwaukee, Washington, D.C., and Englewood, providing over 130k servings of produce to families in need! Now that we know this program's potential to support healthy habits, we're excited to expand Good Food at Home so that more families can experience the reality of produce right at their doorsteps. In the coming months, we'll be expanding to 3 new cities: Chicago, Wichita, and New Orleans! We're thrilled to continue this partnership with Instacart to enhance access to nutritious food across the country!

Today is National Senior Citizen's Day. Did you know that many seniors face unique challenges that make it difficult to maintain a healthy diet? These challenges can be related to their health, finances, or living situation. In fact, nearly 7 million seniors were food insecure in 2022, meaning they didn't have consistent access to enough food for a healthy life. This can lead to serious health problems and a reduced quality of life. That's why we're on a mission to ensure that everyone in every zip code, especially our most vulnerable populations, can access the food they need to lead healthy lives. Let's spread the word about senior hunger! Share this infographic to help raise awareness.
