We help food banks stock their shelves with good food
Over 47 million people in America struggle to put food on the table every year. The majority of those families rely on food banks and food pantries to make ends meet. Over the past 10 years, PHA has partnered with more than 60 food banks to increase the supply of fresh, nutrient dense items so families can get access to the good food they need to live a healthy life.
Through our Healthy Hunger Relief program we help food banks assess and improve how they source and procure foods. Historically food banks have measured their impact in pounds of food distributed focusing on quantity. We help them shift their focus to quality by providing recommendations and resources that enable them to stock their shelves with healthy items in the short and long-term. Together we’ve helped our partners eliminate 19 million pounds of processed food from their inventories and distribute 11.1 million pounds of produce.
11.1 million servings of produce distributed by 35 food bank partners

Healthy Hunger Relief Index
PHA’s Healthy Hunger Relief Index was created in 2021 to help our food bank partners make lasting health-focused organizational change. The tool includes an internal survey and a personalized progress report to help food banks get closer toward achieving Food Equity. Last year, 17 food bank partners participated in the survey.
