PHA Thrive

PHA Thrive is a volunteer-led food security program run by Prospect Hill Academy parents, staff and friends in partnership with Food For Free to provide supplemental food to students who do not have regular access to food during weekends and school breaks.

 

The program operates a grocery cash card program, called the Carrot Card Program. This program provides families with $25 per kid loaded onto their “carrot card” monthly to use for food expenses. This program allows families the flexibility of choice, location, and timing when it comes to feeding their children. Families can register any time during the school year and cards are active during school months.

 

PHA Thrive also hosts Thrive Thursday Dinners on the third Thursday of every month from November to March, from 5:30-7:00 PM at the Early Childhood Campus. Thrive Thursday community dinners offer families a night off from racing home at the end of a busy day to prepare a family meal. Instead, families get to relax among friends over a warm meal prepared by someone else. Thrive family volunteers also aim to provide a family activity each month to enjoy during dinner. Thrive Thursdays remind us that we are all enriched by working together and supporting one another. And what better way to come together than around food?
