Mondelēz Triscuit brand and Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) have announced the expansion of PHA’s Good Food for All Program to bring 600,000 servings of fresh vegetables and fruits to food-insecure families in Washington, DC.

Over the next 12 weeks, the two organisations say this initiative will provide high-quality produce to 1,000 families living in Ward 8, an area that was once farmland and now has limited access to fresh food.

With additional support from Lancaster Foods, Capital Area Food Bank and Giant Food, 1,000 households in Washington DC’s Ward 8 who experience food insecurity will receive a weekly box of high-quality produce that includes 50 servings of fruits and vegetables for 12 weeks – for a total of more than 600,000 servings of fresh produce.
