Helping Hungry families

By Michele Lofton | Director of Development

School Breakfast Challenge

Dear GlobalGiving Friends,

Thanks to your support, the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger has made great strides in ensuring all families who struggle with food insecurity have the nutritious food they need to lead healthy lives. Last year, we:

Connected thousands of children with free summer meals in their neighborhoods through our Summer Meals Campaign.

Screened more than 5,000 people in our area for supplemental nutritional food assistance benefits.

Secured close to 200,000 pounds of donated food for local soup kitchens and pantries.

Led the Philadelphia School Breakfast Challenge to increase access to breakfast in the classroom by enrolling 42 schools to participate.

Supported more than 100 of the region's food pantries, helping to ensure they can meet the needs of their communities.

None of this work would be possible without dedicated supporters like you. Thank you for your continued commitment in this ongoing fight against hunger.
