Our vision is to create equitable access to preventative nutrition services across the country

The leading causes of death in the United States—heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer—are directly linked to poor dietary intake. Low income families are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of poor nutrition as a lack of access to nutritious foods and vital education eventually takes its toll.

The vast majority of insurance companies fail to cover prevention-focused nutrition counseling, with the standard coverage being a single counseling session with a registered dietitian per year. Some sessions with a dietitian are covered once a disease diagnosis has been made. However, we find that many low-income individuals struggle to afford the co-pays involved.

Nutrition for All’s goal is to increase access to nutrition counseling by working directly with families and communities in need. Short term classes and pop-up educational events are well intentioned; however the reality is that real change comes from consistent, highly personalized education.
