OUR PROGRAM MISSION IS TO EMPOWER NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET OWNERS TO BECOME HEALTHY FOOD RETAILERS.

Low-income neighborhoods and communities of color have three times as many small markets than more affluent and white neighborhoods. Yet, on average, they also have half as many full-service grocery stores.

Limited grocery store options mean residents in lower income areas have less options for a healthy diet. 

Unless the small markets become healthy food retailers.

Program Overview

By working with storeowners to champion healthy food access, HMLA supports community vitality and economic development. Storeowners receive training, guidance and upgrades to their stores, transforming them into beacons of healthy, affordable food. As a result, communities have more options for living a healthy life. 

Our Stores

If your organization or agency seeks support with a healthy retailer program, we now offer consulting services.
