What we eat has a direct impact on how we feel, heal, and thrive. Yet for millions of families, access to healthy food remains a daily challenge. At Food Connect, we’re driven by one core belief: no one should go hungry, and every meal should nourish both people and the planet.

Our work started with a simple idea - how can we use technology and community partnerships to close critical gaps in food access? Today, we’re proud to support 200,000+ last-mile meals every month, working alongside hospitals, nonprofits, schools and local farms to make sure food doesn’t just fill stomachs — it transforms lives.

In the U.S., 6 in 10 adults live with a chronic disease, and 4 in 10 live with two or more. Poor nutrition is a major driver, contributing to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension — conditions that account for 90% of the nation’s $4.3 trillion annual healthcare costs (American Heart Association). The solution isn’t just more medicine —  it’s better food.

That’s why we’ve doubled down on Food is Medicine — our initiative to bring nutrient-dense, culturally relevant meals directly to the doors of patients and families who need them most. We don’t do it alone. We’re passionate about strengthening existing healthcare and community systems, making them more resilient and able to serve more people, more effectively.

Here’s how it works:

‍

Main Line Health at Lankenau Medical Center Deaver Wellness Farm 

We deliver fresh produce from Deaver Wellness Farm directly to Lankenau Medical Center patients’ homes. Each bag comes with nutrition info, storage tips, and easy recipe cards. In partnership with Common Market, we also deliver to 80+ patients weekly during harvest season.

‍

Temple Center for Population Health‍

Our last-mile deliveries bring low-cost, fresh produce to families across North Philadelphia — directly addressing one of the city’s largest food deserts. By removing transportation barriers, we make healthy eating more accessible and sustainable.

‍

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Food Pharmacy‍

Each month, we deliver farm-fresh produce to 650+ patient families, supporting CHOP’s multidisciplinary team as they empower families to adopt lifelong healthy habits through food.

None of this would be possible without the incredible partnership and trust of the Green Family Foundation, along with the individuals and businesses who believe in this work. Your support helps us scale proven models, uplift communities, and build a world where food is more than fuel — it’s a path to healing.

‍Together, we’re transforming food from a commodity into care.
