Pittsburgh Food Policy Council (PFPC) and PghFoodTeam today announced it has been selected to receive a grant as part of the Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge (#Communities4Health), a program funded by the Aetna Foundation, together with the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the National Association of Counties (NACo), supporting communities that are changing the way they work together across sectors to reduce disparities in chronic disease outcomes.
Pittsburgh Food Policy Council is leading one of the 20 teams chosen to participate in the Challenge. The team will receive $100,000 to take action to change the food access systems in Pittsburgh and engage community residents as leaders in their work. In addition to the funding, PFPC and their partners will participate in one-on-one technical assistance provided by APHA and a supportive peer-learning network led by Healthy Places by Design over the course of the two years.
