Project HEAL: Nourishing Communities with Plant-Based Meals

About Project HEAL

Founded in summer 2018, Project HEAL (Healthy Eating and Living) addresses a critical need: 41 million Americans struggle with hunger, and 553,742 people experience homelessness on any given night. Through plant-based nutrition and community engagement, we fight both hunger and chronic disease simultaneously.

Why Plant-Based Nutrition?

Plant-based diets are proven to reduce the risk of heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and obesity — the very conditions disproportionately affecting underserved communities. By providing healthy, wholesome meals, we nourish bodies and educate communities about the power of food as medicine.

Our Impact

Thousands of healthy lunches and dinners served across Boston, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle. During COVID-19 alone, we served 30,000+ meals in partnership with local restaurants.

Project HEAL in India

Combating the rising tide of Type-2 Diabetes in India, we advocate for plant-based diets through community education workshops and partnerships with local healthcare providers.
