Rollins Family Foundation

The Rollins Family Foundation is partnering with The Food Trust to help empower youth to become leaders for healthy change in their schools and communities. As a strong role model to children throughout the Greater Philadelphia region, Phillies All-Star shortstop Jimmy Rollins supports The Food Trust’s HYPE Program. HYPE (Healthy You. Positive Energy.) operates in 75 schools, promoting healthy eating and exercise. HYPE Youth Wellness Councils start after-school sports clubs, organize healthy smoothie sales and assemblies, and much more. The Rollins Family Foundation has also committed $10,000 to The Food Trust programs in the Greater Philadelphia region. Event Highlights

The Rollins Family Foundation and St. Christopher’s Foundation for Children-Farm to Families initiative is proud to partner in an effort to incentivize Farm to Families participants to build a habit of healthy eating. How it works: Each person is provided with a loyalty card. After nine boxes of fresh food has been purchased at a deeply discounted rate, the participant is eligible to receive their 10th box free. The only way to really get healthy is to change your diet – and having this important incentive rewards participants to come back for more healthy food! Jimmy and Johari Rollins kick off the program and share a sweet summer treat with area children on August 7th, 2014. The Rollins Family Foundation has committed $10,000 to support the loyalty card program and other Farm to Families initiatives.

The Rollins Family Foundation has partnered with the SHARE Food Program dedicated to providing fresh food and nutritional education to area families. On July 23rd, 2014 Jimmy and Johari kicked off their partnership with J-Ro11's Healthy Helping at the SHARE facility by cooking up one of their favorite healthy and delicious recipes. The Rollins Family Foundation also committed $10,000 to support SHARE Food Programs.
