Transforming Access to Healthy Food Choices

Our Purpose

Dedicated to Improving Neighborhood Health and Wellbeing

The Wichita Healthy Corner Store Initiative seeks to partner with local corner stores to enhance food accessibility in underserved neighborhoods. By providing fresh produce, equipment, and targeted training, we will significantly boost local businesses and community health. Our efforts will lead to increased foot traffic, improved income for store owners, and a greater variety of healthy food options for families.

Through our initiative, our goal is to transform local corner stores into vibrant hubs of nutrition. By implementing our programs, participating stores will benefit from increased customer engagement and sales, fostering healthier dietary habits among residents.

Our Journey

Building a Healthier Future Since Our Inception

Founded in response to food deserts in Wichita, the Healthy Corner Store Initiative emerged to tackle the challenges of food insecurity. Over the years, other cities have implemented the Healthy Corner Store Initiative and partnered with numerous stores, providing essential resources and education. Our commitment will result in thriving local businesses and more residents enjoying access to fresh, healthy options, thus enriching the well-being of our communities.
