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.

    • 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;
