Our Founders
After working together for more than a decade, we founded this company with one shared belief: strong communities create strong people—and everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.
Our journey began in Indiana SNAP-Ed, where we spent years supporting healthier communities through education, partnerships, and systems change. When funding ended, we saw firsthand the gap it left in the places that needed it most. Rather than step away, we decided to step forward—building something new that could continue the work we love.
We’re passionate about giving back to the communities that raised us and inspired our careers. To us, community means more than geography—it’s the people we live beside, work with, share meals with, and call family. Together, we’re committed to being a trusted resource and partner, helping our neighbors and organizations across Indiana create healthier, more connected places to live, learn, and work.
