Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania area partnered with the Pennsylvania Healthy Pantry Initiative (PA HPI) with the intention to increase access to healthy foods, provide nutrition education, and reducing the burden of chronic disease among food pantry clients. The initiative also aims to support pantry clients in increasing their consumption of healthy foods by highlighting the healthy choices within the food pantries. Through this program, we have been blessed with shelving and other display items for the food pantry. We are also able to pass on healthy recipes and information on making healthy food choice and chronic health conditions.
