Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA)

Catalyzing Action: Across the nation PHA collaborates with cross-sector partners (public, private, charitable) to realize our vision of Good Food for All - that no matter their zip code, every American has access to affordable, nutritious, good food. Our diverse programs include: Good Food at Home that provides participating families with 50 servings of fruits and vegetables weekly for 12 weeks, creating a long-lasting habit of produce. Healthy Hunger Relief that recognizes, elevates and accelerates the work of food banks across the country that are uplifting the health and well-being of their communities. Regional Food Systems Transformation that focuses on community-driven change to increase consumption of vegetables and fruits by building a greater local supply and increasing demand.

Convening: PHA brings together thousands of leaders from the private sector, government, and non-profit space to transform the food system through a variety of convening and coalition opportunities, including PHA's annual food equity summit and its coalition of Veggies Early & Often partners that are seeking to shape early palates and create lifelong habits of healthy eating in our youngest eaters. Although there was no convening activity in 2023 due to the transition, PHA is planning a summit in FY24.

Commitments: PHA negotiates voluntary business practice change among private sector partners that work to improve the food supply and increase healthy choices. As part of these partnerships, PHA coordinates monitoring activities over the life of the agreement and works with third party contractors to verify progress. We also work with corporate partners from across the food sector to make commitments to increase servings of fruits and vegetables, and to provide greater access to nutritious food using their products and services.
