- In Philadelphia, where The Food Trust was founded in 1992, the organization is committed to working with partners like the Philadelphia Department of Public Health's Get Healthy Philly initiative to create a comprehensive solution to the issue of food access, improving the health of families and communities through nutrition education, improved school food environments, farmers' markets, healthier food options in corner stores, new and expanded supermarkets and healthy food marketing campaigns and other programs.
- Across the country, The Food Trust is working with local partners to spread the success of Philadelphia's initiatives.
