When the government shuts down, everyday life doesn't stop — bills still come, children still need to eat, and families still need stability.
At Back 2 Healthy Foundation of Wellness, we saw the impact of the recent shutdown ripple through our Philadelphia-area communities almost immediately. Parents who rely on federal programs experienced delays in benefits. Working families faced sudden income gaps. And the calls for help started to grow louder.
That's why we launched The People's Plate — an emergency relief initiative created to ensure no family in our community goes hungry during this uncertain time.
💚What The People's Plate Does
Through The People's Plate, we're mobilizing local volunteers, donors, and partners to:
- •Provide groceries and prepared meals for families affected by the shutdown.
- •Support children, seniors, and single parents with nutritional resources and wellness checks.
- •Partner with local vendors and food suppliers to maximize every donated dollar.
Each contribution helps us fill another plate, bring relief to another household, and remind families that their community cares.
🏛️Why It Matters
Back 2 Healthy Foundation of Wellness was built on one simple belief — a healthy community begins with stability. Food security is at the heart of that mission.
During times like these, our collective action makes the greatest difference.
"When the government shuts down, community steps up." 💚
That's the spirit behind The People's Plate.
