The power of a family meal

Gini,

Did you know that children who regularly eat meals with their families eat more fruits and vegetables?

That's why as kids head back to school and schedules get busier, it's important to still prioritize eating together as a family. And since September is National Family Meals Month, it's also the perfect time to get back in the habit of enjoying more meals together.

While families may want to eat homemade meals together regularly, the reality isn't so simple — limits on time, affordability, and access to healthy foods can make it difficult.

PHA is breaking down those barriers to good food by distributing boxes of fresh produce to families across the country,  helping them enjoy more meals at home. Since 2020, this program has provided 24 million servings of fruits and vegetables to families in 30 cities across the US.

Gini, this is a part of our larger goal of adding 100 million servings of fruits and vegetables to the marketplace by 2025. It's a first step in creating food equity in communities around the country, and ensuring good food for all.

Thank you for supporting this important work,
