Fitting healthy, whole foods into your diet offers a wealth of health benefits. But it can also get expensive. If your budget makes it difficult for you to make healthy food choices, we can help.
At the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Healthy Food Center, we provide free healthy food options and nutrition counseling in the greater Pittsburgh community. We aim to make nutritious meals a reality for more families — regardless of your financial situation.
We created the Healthy Food Center to make sure our patients have access to healthy foods and nutrition counseling to help manage their overall health, no matter their income or budget. We partner with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to provide healthy food choices to people in need. Learn how to participate.
