April 2008 Charity of the Month

Philadelphia GROW Project
http://publichealth.drexel.edu/GROW/

The mission of the Philadelphia GROW Project is to partner with families to improve the growth and nutrition of their children, to prevent hunger and food insecurity, and to promote the health of Philadelphians.

The Philadelphia GROW Project as three interrelated endeavors:

The GROW Clinic
A clinic at St. Christopher's Hospital for children with failure to thrive. Meet the team.

Policy Relevant Research
Children's Sentinel Nutrition Assessment Program (C-SNAP)--Philadelphia
C-SNAP is a multi-site research endeavor that carries out evidence-based policy relevant research to track the wellbeing of children in relation to pubic assistance programs. Meet the team.

Local and National Advocacy
The Philadelphia GROW Project works in tandem with the C-SNAP team regarding national advocacy. In Southeastern Pennsylvania, we work with families to provide individualized advocacy, while at the same time, we translate our findings from The GROW Clinic and C-SNAP Philadelphia into local reports for legislators and anti-hunger advocates.
