One week left. Help us achieve Food Equity.

Hi Gini,

A few weeks ago, I reached out about our ambitious goal to raise $15,000 by June 30 to help improve Food Equity across America. And now, with just one week remaining until our deadline, I am reaching out one more time - hoping we can count on you to help us meet this goal.

One week left to help us reach our goal - DONATE NOW

Gini, we believe that good food is an important catalyst for health and that every family in America deserves access to good food.

Today, as many as 40 million Americans lack affordable access to healthy, sustainable food - increasing their risk for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and more. With your support, we can work together to ensure that everyone across the U.S. has access to good, nutritious food to support better health for all by focusing on three critical pillars:

Ensuring a healthy food supply, providig access to good food, and raising awareness of knowledge and skills so people can select and prapare good food for themselves and their families.

But to do this, and so much more, we will need the support of people like you and that's why, I hope you will make a gift today and help us meet our $15,000 goal.

Thank you for your dedicated support in the fight for Food Equity.

When a pineapple is a blessing

DONATE

Gini,

Growing up in Venezuela, Perla always had access to fresh mangoes from a mango tree in the front yard of her childhood home.

But when she moved to Lincoln, Nebraska with her daughter, there weren't any mango trees around. She was starting over in America and it was hard to adjust, particularly to the cold, midwest winters.

Partnership for a Healthier America's (PHA) Good Food for All program helped Perla find warmth in her new community while Perla was applying for her work permit in 2021. The program provided her and her daughter healthy, nutritious food for 12 weeks - right when it was needed most.

Not only did the box offer the kind of food Perla wanted to feed her family during this difficult time, it also reminded her of home.

"This is a blessing, because I haven't had a pineapple in so long. Just looking at it makes you feel a little bit more at home."

The regular access to high-quality produce made it easier for Perla to focus on feeding her daughter lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Since receiving the boxes, Perla continues to center her family's meals around vegetables.

PHA is creating long-lasting change for people like Perla in communities around the country. Perla's story is shared by the more than 20,000 families we connected to fresh produce through our Good Food for All program in the last year.

I hope you'll consider supporting this important work. Please, make a gift to help us fight for Food Equity so everyone, in every zip code, can access good food.

Together, we are strengthening communities,
