St Christophers Hospital For Children Foundation

Our farm to families program is a collaborative, community-based effort to improve the diets and health of children and families in philadelphia by addressing obstacles to healthy eating. St. Christophers foundation for children partners with lancaster farm fresh cooperative (lffc) to provide access to nutritious, fresh and local foods. Farm to families provides information on nutrition and food preparation. Lffc sources, packages and delivers fresh food to farm to families community food hubs. The majority of the produce is organically grown, picked fresh and brought down to philadelphia the very next day - making it some of the healthiest food available in the country.

Scfc serves as the fiduciary and fiscal sponsor for over 25 donor designated funds that support research, education and patient comfort at st. Christophers hospital for children.
