WASHINGTON, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, CHC:
Creating Healthier Communities, a nationwide organization that
addresses the barriers to health, announced a new partnership with
Homeplate Solutions. The partners aim to transform access to
healthy food by eliminating food deserts and providing equitable
access to affordable, nutritious food for every community across
the U.S.

"Inflation in America has made affordable, healthy food a real
struggle for many families," said Jean
Accius, president and CEO of CHC. "CHC works every day to
break down barriers so every person in every community has an
opportunity to live their healthiest life. Partnerships are the
only way we can accomplish this. That's why we're so excited about
Homeplate Solutions. Together, we can increase access to healthy
food for everyone, from children to older adults. And healthy food
means longer, healthier lives for all people."
Homeplate Solutions has been recognized by the White House and
CDC Foundation for their AI-enabled technology and integrated
dietary management platform that provides greater affordability and
food accessibility to community-based nutrition organizations.
Homeplate's national relationships plus distribution through a
prime national distributor, remove barriers and provide equitable
purchasing power to every organization—from large nonprofits to the
smallest community-based organizations. Homeplate estimates a real
cost savings of 20-30% per meal. And, Homeplate Solutions provides
customized menus to promote climate-smart, sustainable choices,
aligning with today's "food is medicine" approach to healthy eating
for healthier living.
"What makes this partnership so exciting is that we can leverage
our food system to solve our nutrition and climate problems," said
Justin Kamine, Chief Strategy
Officer of Homeplate Solutions. "It begins with providing national
access to affordable, high-quality food to every neighborhood
across the country, and with CHC, and their vast network of
nonprofit partners, we can achieve just that."
In addition to at least 20% cost savings, organizations that
order through Homeplate Solutions will have access to fresh,
locally sourced food, simplified operations with no sign-up fees
and an easy ordering system, and reduced waste contributing to
sustainability.
