We will partner with churches, non-profit organizations, and local area food bank to help eradicate hunger and improve food deserts in underserved communities where we live, serve, and work. In the Delaware Valley alone, one in seven households are struggling against hunger. While the nation’s federal nutrition programs have a wide reach in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Delaware way too many adults, children and potential Future Bulldogs continue to slip through the nutrition safety net.

​

Food insecurity and lack of availability of nutritionally adequate and safe food persist for too many households. Along with hunger, lack of access to healthy food contributes to obesity and poor health outcomes. The primary focus for these partnerships is to help eradicate hunger and bridge the nutrition gap by providing heathy food alternative and resources. The goal is to incorporate food pick-up points in our student recruitment efforts, in hopes that we educate communities at large and the families of Future Bulldogs with food hardship.
