• The Feed Philly Coalition's anti-hunger initiatives
• The introduction of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) into the School District of Philadelphia
• Food waste reduction and food-rescue programs
• Volunteerism and mutual-aid impact
• High-profile civic moments tied to the DNC and 2026 Semiquincentennial
