St. Christopher's Foundation for Children

St. Christopher’s Foundation for Children is a grantmaking public charity operating and supporting programs that increase positive health outcomes for children and families in the North Philadelphia neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. St. Christopher’s Foundation for Children plans to use its Innovation Fund grant to support two projects. The first includes the creation of community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs in low-income communities in Philadelphia. The second project works to change state and city policies to increase food access, including expansion of food benefits to include purchases from CSA programs, amendments to sidewalk vending zoning code to allow for greater produce sales, and the creation of a revolving loan fund for refrigeration and shelving for corner stores.
