Nutrifuel
Tackling food insecurity by providing better nutrition for all.
Our Mission
Nutrifuel is focused on uplifting, empowering, and strengthening those that are food insecure by increasing access to wellness resources, fresh foods, and education on the impact of healthy eating habits.
We believe that improving the health and wellness of our daily lives starts with improving the quality of food with which we fuel our bodies. Many people in the United States do not have consistent access to enough nutritionally adequate food for a healthy, active lifestyle, so Nutrifuel aims to provide aid to these people and help them improve their quality of life.
About the Issue
Solving the issue of food insecurity and providing better nutrition to those in need is a complex issue in the United States. Due to the income, educational, and healthcare disparities in our country, many families in underprivileged communities struggle to secure healthy eating habits and are forced to settle for cheap foods full of preservatives and genetically modified ingredients. Read to learn more about the cause and effects of these disparities and how they impact the well-being of those affected.
A Message From Our Founder
Alan Hua
When people hear the terms “Food Bank” or “Food Drive,” what often comes to mind is non-perishable items: canned goods and foods that have a very long shelf life. Unfortunately, many of these foods are high in sodium, low in nutrients, and frequently lack the nutritional diversity of minerals and vitamins that are needed for a balanced diet. Nutrifuel aims to raise awareness of the need for more nutritionally rich foods and help deepen the reach of organizations that work to tackle food insecurity to uplift and aid those in need.
With the understanding that food is fuel and that the fuel we feed our bodies has a direct relationship to one’s physical health, mental health, and performance in our daily lives, my goal is to widen the scope of foods donated to underprivileged families and give these communities the opportunity to better their lives by providing them healthier alternatives to canned and processed foods.
