Retail Food Rescue

From May, 2018 through December, 2018, MAHN rescued and distributed more than 48,000 lbs. of retail grocer product to fifteen local food pantries in the startup phase of it's food rescue program.

With the help of a refrigerated van awarded by Philabundance, our door to door service relieves the food pantry of all transportation and donor relationship responsibilities. The program is expected to generate more than 100,000 lbs. of food for Montgomery County's emergency food system per year.
Peer Learning Circles

We believe that knowledge is power and host educational meetings each year to support member learning. These gatherings of food pantry leadership and staff provide:
  • An excellent place to learn best practices from experts in the field
  • A communal thinking space where service providers
    are encouraged to share ideas and discuss problems
  • An ideal location to meet community partners
    offering information and services that enhance food pantry     programs
Coalition Meetings

MAHN’s membership is divided into 5 coalition regions. Each convenes regularly for peer to peer idea exchange and
discussion around operational challenges. Meetings create opportunity to build relationships and convey to MAHN’s administrator where support is needed.
