🎉 We're celebrating our Healthy Hunger Relief partners today in honor of National Food Bank day. Our food bank partners have reached more than 14.7 million food insecure Americans with healthier food.

🧑‍🍳 We hope you'll enjoy the September recipe of the month: Summer Panzanella. This recipe was inspired by our Good Food for All work, which has provided more than 18 million servings of fresh produce to 20,000 families in 28 cities.

📍Save the date! The White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health will be held on Wednesday, September 28. We're thrilled to be working with The White House and the CDC Foundation to engage companies in working toward Food Equity.

💚 September is Hunger Awareness Month so we're kicking off our Annual Fund campaign to raise awareness about the importance of nutrition. This is part of our fight for Food Equity.

Please, consider making your tax-deductible gift now to our Annual Fund to help support this work.

We hope you enjoy reading all the latest updates from our team!

Thank you,

The Partnership for a Healthier America Team

✨ Our network of food bank partners reaches more than 14.7 million food insecure individuals across 27 states and has increased the amount of healthy food distributed by over 122 million pounds! That makes a huge difference for people all over the country.

Recipe of the Month: Summer Panzanella

🫑 We hope you enjoy this recipe for Summer Panzanella, which includes a light dressing, toasted bread, and colorful vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. As summer winds down and the days become busier, this recipe is perfect for a nutritious, quick, and easy-to-prepare meal.

⭐ We're providing fresh produce - like bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions - to families that face barriers to accessing healthy food as part of our work to fight for Food Equity.
