How We Work
Recipe for a Healthier PA
Whether you’re a food pantry wanting support, an educator in need of resources, or a home cook looking for tips—we’re here to help.
Support for Pantries
Our work helps hundreds of PA food pantries add healthier options to their shelves- and teach their neighbors about cooking.
Simple Food Content
Working with PA Eats, we develop recipes, videos and simple how-to’s on healthy cooking and how to make tasty dishes using pantry staples.
Free Resources
Our food and nutrition content is available to anyone, and we work through pantries and educators to get it into the hands of the community.
Our Funding
Funding is provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Health through the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
All Together
at the Table
When better nutrition is the goal, there are never too many cooks in the kitchen. We enjoy teaming up with PA Eats to make it all happen. They develop content through Nourish PA—a series of recipes and videos centering on nutritious foods.
