Our work to connect households with SNAP benefits, strengthen local food networks, and address the root causes of food insecurity comes at a significant cost, and over the past year we have struggled to secure the funding necessary for this crucial work.

Northwest Mutual Aid Collective has been providing food for their community ever since the pandemic began. What makes them different than many other free food programs? Northwest Mutual Aid Collective, Inc. delivers food straight to their clients each week with food packages that are based on the number of people in the household, health restrictions, cultural needs, and more.

During April, our team had frequent visits to classrooms around the Greater Philadelphia area! We ran 7 interactive food resource trainings for Penn Charter 6th and 10th graders, La Salle University Nursing Program students, and Childrenโs Hospital of Philadelphia first year residents.
These trainings are designed to help participants gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of food insecurity and the impact it has on those living in the Greater Philadelphia region. They also include a facilitated discussion about the barriers and shortcomings of our current food system and safety nets, as well as the ways participants can take action to create a world where all people have the food they need to lead healthy lives.
