Your August PHA Update

This month from PHA

Hi Gini,

We hope you're having a great summer! During this time of rest and relaxation, we're reflecting on the gratitude we feel for our community of supporters like you, Gini.

You're a piece of the engine that's transforming our food system to support a better future for us all. As we take stock of where we're at, we're also embracing fresh challenges and opportunities of the upcoming months and years.

Our team is so energized by all the progress in the food equity movement. Continue reading for the latest updates:

 

Food Equity In the News

You've probably been reading about (and experiencing) the massive heat wave that's impacting the United States and the rest of the globe this summer — but did you know that extreme heat has a significant impact on those most vulnerable to hunger? Axios recently published an article about the connection between extreme heat, hunger, and health.

"Food-insecure households are among the most at risk of health and financial hardships during blistering temperatures. They face unique exposure to dehydration and costly relief that further strains dwindling food budgets."

You can read the full article on the Axios website.

 
 

Just Released: Healthy Eating Resources

We're excited to share that Healthy Eating Research has just come out with a trove of educational resources, including fact sheets and guides about healthy eating and drinking for young children.

These resources are meant to help inform parents and health professionals so they can make informed decisions to support the health of children. They're now translated into Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese — expanding who can access them.

Knowledge is an essential part of the fight for good food for all so we're always looking for new ways to support families across the country. We hope you check out these resources and share them with anyone you know that might be interested.

We hope you'll try out our latest recipe of the month: Fresh Spring Rolls. They're a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite veggies. With a simple filling of vegetables, herbs, and protein you can personalize them exactly to your liking.
