Healthy Hunger Relief

2019 Progress Report

Healthy hunger relief is at the core of PHA’s mission: increasing access to nutritious foods for populations in need that are disproportionately affected by obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diet-related diseases.

In 2019, PHA developed new ways to approach healthy hunger relief. Responding to feedback from partners around the importance of technology and organization-focused evaluation, PHA is expanding its food bank partnerships to an even broader focus on systems change. Moving forward, PHA is adapting its framework to the changing environment by increasing the versatility of its digital tools for partners, building a healthy food bank evaluation tool to better understand our own progress toward organizational change, and establishing a new level of partnership that equips healthy food bank champions to drive system-level change in healthy hunger relief.

To date, PHA partners have committed to eradicating 12 million pounds of junk food from the system, while adding 66 million pounds of nutritious food, impacting the lives of over 5 million Americans who rely on our nation’s charitable food system.
