Improving Access to Healthy Meals

United Way invests in innovative programs to actually address the root cause of food insecurity. … What we’re doing here is democratizing wellness because wellness belongs to everyone, regardless of income.

Chef Kevin Curry, United Way Ambassador

Texas is one of the most food-insecure states in the nation. That’s why many of our health initiatives focus on improving food security for all North Texans.

We partner with grassroots organizations like Empowering the Masses to deliver health knowledge and resources to our neighbors. At the nonprofit’s Community Market, residents can select nutritious pantry staples and attend events like Wellness Wednesdays, where local Chef Kevin Curry taught attendees how to make delicious, healthful meals from basic ingredients.
