Today is National Senior Citizen's Day. Did you know that many seniors face unique challenges that make it difficult to maintain a healthy diet? These challenges can be related to their health, finances, or living situation. In fact, nearly 7 million seniors were food insecure in 2022, meaning they didn't have consistent access to enough food for a healthy life. This can lead to serious health problems and a reduced quality of life. That's why we're on a mission to ensure that everyone in every zip code, especially our most vulnerable populations, can access the food they need to lead healthy lives. Let's spread the word about senior hunger! Share this infographic to help raise awareness.

About us
At the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), reducing childhood obesity is our north star. PHA partners with the private sector to transform the food landscape in pursuit of health equity. We work with the private sector and PHA Honorary Chair Former First Lady Michelle Obama to make healthier choices easier for busy parents and families. In 2010, PHA was created in conjunction with Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! effort. A nonpartisan nonprofit organization led by some of the nation’s most respected health and childhood obesity experts, PHA brings together public, private, and nonprofit leaders to broker meaningful commitments and develop strategies to end childhood obesity. We ensure that commitments made are commitments kept by working with unbiased third parties to monitor and publicly report on the progress our partners are making.

We partnered with Instacart to bring fresh produce to families across America! Our Good Food at Home program provided over 1,100 families in 4 cities with $60 in Instacart Health Fresh Funds and free Instacart delivery. This program has empowered families to access nutritious food right at their doorsteps when they need it the most. While these initial results inspire us, we know there’s still work to be done. That’s why we’re expanding this program to more cities soon! Click the link to learn more about the program’s impact, and read the press release!: https://lnkd.in/eY7pMxCM

We’re excited to share the results of our recent Good Food at Home program! Running from December 2023 to February 2024 in Englewood, NJ, Denver, CO, Milwaukee, WI, and Washington, DC, we provided over a thousand families with $60 in Fresh Funds for three months to purchase fresh produce on Instacart. We're inspired by these initial results but recognize there’s still work to be done. That’s why we’re expanding this program to more cities soon!

We're thrilled to share that our work in the Mississippi Delta through Rootswell was featured in The Guardian! Journalist Adria Walker did an amazing job reviewing SOIL - New Work by Justin Hardiman, an art exhibit sponsored by Rootswell that highlighted Black farmers and local community members. The article weaves together the stories behind some of the photos and includes an interview with the photographer, Justin Hardiman, and our Manager of MS Programs, Tyler Yarbrough. They both speak to the importance of bringing these untold stories to the forefront so that the community can take back the narrative of the Mississippi Delta.
