ABOUT:The United Way of Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia Partnership for Nutrition and Health (PPNH)
The region’s first United Way was formed in 1921 as a community chest. In recent years, United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey (UWGPSNJ) has undergone a remarkable transformation. Moving beyond the confines of a traditional “community chest” approach, they have boldly embraced an initiative-based impact model in their pursuit to end poverty and expand opportunity for all. This shift has sparked a resurgence in their reputation, reigniting interest and trust in the organization’s abilities. As UWGPSNJ continues to evolve, based on the needs of the community they serve, leading initiatives and bold partnerships that fuel solutions are at the forefront of their work.
The Philadelphia Partnership for Nutrition and Health (PPNH), established by former Merck CEO and Executive Chairman Ken Frazier and hosted by United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, brings together leaders from public, private, and nonprofit sectors with a shared commitment to building an equitable and sustainable foundation for health in Philadelphia. Through this cross-sector collaboration, PPNH advances affordable access to good and healthy food, working to reduce the effects of poverty, particularly in Black and Hispanic communities.
