We work to eradicate hunger by acting as a resource, convener and program provider for hunger-related initiatives, including: • “Healthy Food Prescription Programs,” in partnership with Hospitals and medical service providers, using tailored food, nutrition education and lifestyle changes to address chronic health issues such as diabetes, etc. • The Mobile Summer BreakSpot feeding program, an innovative partnership and national success model with Meals on Wheels South Florida, Broward County Housing Authority (BCHA) and the Children’s Services Council of Broward County, along with over 25 additional community partners. We are presently serving over 75 sites in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, with planned expansion region-wide in 2020.• Weekend backpack and nutrition supplement programs targeting homeless, at-risk and teen students in multiple counties.• Mobile School Pantries serving fresh fruits & vegetables on-site to at-risk and Title 1 elementary & middle-school populations.• Community and school-based garden projects.• Food rescue and recovery programs.SFHC advocates for greater utilization of existing federal programs such as school breakfast, school lunch, after-school snacks, after-school dinners, summer meals, weekend feeding programs and expanded nutrition education. We provide technical guidance, support and assistance to implement and expand these programs as well as other hunger-related initiatives among stakeholders at the local, regional and state level.
