Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank
Did you know? Food insecure individuals are subject to the same challenging cultural changes as other Americans such as more sedentary lifestyles or increased portion sizes. Food insecure individuals also face unique challenges in adopting and maintaining healthful behaviors such as fewer resources, lack of opportunities for physical activity and limited access to health care.
Through PHA’s Food Assistance Partnership Program, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank will work to address hunger and malnutrition by increasing supply and fostering demand of healthier options among those in need. As our partner, the organization commits to evaluating the nutritional quality of at least 50 percent of food in inventory, improving the nutritional quality of food distributed, incentivizing its partners to select more nutritious foods, and activating distribution environments that encourage the selection of better-for-you items.
More than 15 million U.S. children live in "food insecure" households
