The Food Trust
“Project P.E.A.C.H.”

The Food Trust works to improve the health of children and adults, promote good nutrition, increase access to nutritious foods, and advocate for better public policy. Their SNAP-Ed project, “Project P.E.A.C.H.” (People Eating and Cooking Healthy), consists of the several components. Adults are reached through a six week nutrition and cooking workshop in eligible neighborhoods. School-age children are reached through eligible schools in local school districts (Philadelphia (Partner with the Eat.Right.Now. Program), William Penn, Norristown and Reading). Services range from classroom lessons, school markets, food tastings and caregiver workshops. School staff supports the nutrition program by conducting nutrition lessons and activities in their classrooms. Pre-School classrooms in Norristown and Reading receive nutrition education lessons conducted by a nutrition educator.

The Food Trust's mission is to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food.
