“While we are grateful for the stability this budget offers, we cannot lose sight of the fact that this is a critical time of record demand for our most vulnerable neighbors across Pennsylvania,” Hunger-Free Pennsylvania CEO Stuart I.R. Haniff said.

“We’re grateful that state leaders were able to come together and finally pass a budget that helps get critical funding moving again and provides a bit more support for critical anti-hunger programs,” Hunger-Free Pennsylvania Executive Director Stuart I.R. Haniff, MHA, said.

Since its launch in Pennsylvania, Project DASH has delivered nearly 300,000 food boxes, providing both nutrition and a vital connection to the community. The partnership between DoorDash and Hunger Free Pennsylvania highlights how technology and local organizations can work together to address hunger in innovative ways.

More than 2 million Pennsylvanians rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to access the food they need to thrive, including working families, seniors living on a fixed income and veterans returning home.
