Since PHA’s founding in 2010, our annual summit has been an opportunity to celebrate success, launch partnerships, and uplift work that plays a critical role in transforming our nation’s food systems in pursuit of health equity. The PHA Summit convenes trailblazing leaders from the private sector, academia, government, and nonprofits whose work directly contributes to our vision of a more equitable and just food system.
This year, our summit coincides with the recent launch of Pass the Love w/ Waffles + Mochi — a campaign from PHA, Higher Ground Productions, and Michelle Obama inspired by the new show Waffles + Mochi, which is bringing the joy of cooking into homes around the country while raising funds to distribute Pass the Love meal kits to families facing food insecurity in communities around the country.
We'll soon be announcing more speakers and exciting details — we hope to see you on May 12!
