Welcome to Health Friendly

Creating access to more nutritious food & better health

We are building a future where every community has reliable access to nutritious food that supports longer, healthier lives.

To this end, the Health Friendly Food Alliance (HFFA) ensures that healthy food incentives provided to not-for-profit Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), Veteran Supporters, and Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers (FQHCs) put more nutritious food on the table by leveraging the wide assortment and low pricing of existing food retailers. Together, we seek to build stronger families and healthier communities.

Our Mission

Helping to put more healthy food on the table of all Americans.

An Urgent Need

37 Million Americans

are food and nutrition insecure

148 Million Americans

live with at least one chronic condition

$

4.1 Trillion

in U.S. healthcare costs are tied to chronic disease

Due to the lack of technology, thousands of US-based CBOs, veteran support organizations, and Federally Qualified Healthcare Clinics can't use the food incentives that they receive in a way that takes full advantage of their local retailers' pricing and healthy assortments.
