Uplift Solutions

. http://upliftsolutions.org/

Uplift works to support food businesses, local governments, and nonprofits in creating sustainable access to fresh and healthy food, nutrition education, and health care in underserved communities.

• Uplift believes, full-service supermarkets in underprivileged communities can become the cornerstone to fulfill a multitude of community needs.
• To actualize this belief, Uplift takes a multidisciplinary approach, leveraging its four program areas to
  • deliver new supermarkets creating access to fresh and healthy food;
  • preserve existing supermarkets to maintain access to fresh and health food;
  • develop new health clinics to create access to preventative and restorative health care services;
  • and collocate wraparound services to provide access to nutrition education and public benefits.

The four program areas representing this work are:

• • Sustainable Food Solutions,
  • Health Solutions,
  • Financial Solutions,
  • and Workforce Solutions.
