How Charmaine gives back to her community

Hi Gini,

Charmaine was born and raised in New Orleans but it was her pride for and commitment to her community that led her to want to give back.

As the Health & Wellness Coordinator at her local community center, Charmaine worked with the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) team to help bring the Good Food for All program to her neighborhood. The program provided New Orleans residents with boxes of fresh produce every week for 12 weeks.

Charmaine also participated in the program herself - and the program helped her and her son kick off their health journey together.

This program made a long-lasting impact on Charmaine because it allowed her to be adventurous and try new and high-quality foods. The box also provided Charmaine with the opportunity to connect with her teenage son about eating a healthier diet.

Charmaine's story is shared by so many of the more than 20,000 families that we connected to fresh produce in the last year. Thanks to generous supporters like you, we've been able to provide more than 18 million servings of fruits and vegetables to people in 28 cities in the last year.

I hope you'll take five minutes to learn more about stories like Charmaine's by watching this short documentary about the impact that fresh produce can have on communities.

This is just the beginning of PHA's work to create long-lasting change in partnership with communities around the country. Your support of this important work helps bring access to good food to everyone, in every zip code.

Thank you,
