AAMP In The Community
JOIN US IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER
Did you know that there are nearly 9 million Black people throughout the country who do not have access to enough an adequate source of food to feed their families? According to a 2022 study conducted by the USDA, 1 in 5 Black people experience food hunger. On a national average, 17% of Black families are more likely to experience poverty than compared to other races.
The African American Museum in Philadelphia is proud to announce the launch of our new initiative, "AAMP in the Community" where we connect with community-based organizations, locally and throughout the Tri-State region, to support unserved and underserved communities.
