“Food Connect is the reason CHOP’s Food Pharmacy was able to not only maintain Food Pharmacy operations during the onset of COVID, but helped us expand our programming allowing us to reach more families. Due to Food Connect's ability to bring food directly to our families and communicate with our recipients, we are able to individualize each family’s experience to meet their specific needs while maintaining consistent internal operations. Food Connects flexibility and personalized attention has been the key to the growth of CHOP’s Food Pharmacy.”
