Fair Food & PUFFA: Partnering to Improve School Food for Healthier Kids!

The Philadelphia Urban Food and Fitness Alliance (PUFFA) is part of a national movement funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to shape how we feed our children and create safe places where they can be physically active. Over the past several years, Fair Food was integral to the planning process for PUFFA-- a process which identified key working areas, and brought together stakeholders from communities across the city. This planning process resulted in a plan designed to improve food systems and the built environment through advocacy, policy, and real systemic change.

Working closely with the Health Promotion Council, The Enterprise Center CDC in West Philly, and the SouthEast Philadelphia Collaborative in South Philly, community leaders, youth, and the School District of Philadelphia, Fair Food works with PUFFA in order to help guide the collaborative on how the partners can work together to improve school food, including work towards additional farm to school initiatives which put local food purchasing practices into place on the district level. The goals of PUFFA around school food are to develop systems and policy change to make fresher, healthier, and more locally-sourced foods a permanent addition to the lunchroom menu.
