🎉 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

Happy National Food Bank Day!

👏 Today we applaud all 59 of our amazing food bank partners as well as their dedicated volunteers!

🥦 Check out this blog from our President and CEO, Nancy E. Roman about their accomplishments and their commitment to Food Equity.

✨ 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.

Gini,

We just received word, and wanted to share with you right away, that the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health will be held in Washington, DC on Wednesday, September 28.

Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) believes this conference – the first of its kind since 1969 when SNAP, WIC, and the National School Lunch Program were established – has the opportunity to produce similar far-reaching outcomes that will result in healthier lives across America.

PHA is working closely with both the White House and the CDC Foundation to engage companies in working toward Food Equity. Coming on the heels of the UN Food Systems Summit last fall, and in tandem with the World Economic Forum's initiative on nutrition, there has never been a better time to leverage food for health.

If you would like to discuss the conference, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Nancy E. Roman
President and CEO
