DONATE "I thought I was signing up for a box of food, but it turned out to be a lot more." - Joanna, A Good Food for All recipient in Detroit Gini, Let me tell you about Joanna. Joanna and her family participated in the Good Food for All program in Detroit, Michigan. They received 12 weeks of produce boxes that helped their family connect with each other and commit to healthier eating. Joanna was connected to the program during a time of uncertainty. "We had to commit to a change in lifestyle. I didn't want my husband to have another heart attack. The box came at a really good time when we were in the midst of some turmoil over our food."  Good Food for All made it easier for Joanna and her family to eat healthier by giving them regular access to fresh fruits and vegetables. The boxes also provided Joanna and her family with a few unexpected surprises, like the opportunity to spend quality time with her family. "When I gave my kids new things, there was a sense of adventure with food. My kids were surprised to learn they liked squash. My kids are now veggie snobs." Even though the program has now ended in Detroit, Joanna continues to prepare a new recipe each week and encourages her kids to try things they don't think they like. Joanna's story is just one of the many stories shared by the more than 20,000 families we connected to fresh produce through the Good Food for All program in the last year. We distributed more than 18 million servings of fruits and vegetables in 28 states. Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) is fighting for Food Equity every single day.
