April 1, 2024- Valify Solutions Group, a tech-enabled group purchasing organization (GPO) program has joined the White House Challenge to End Hunger and Build Healthy Communities. The Challenge is a Biden-Harris Administration initiative with a goal to eliminate health disparities by reducing hunger and diet-related diseases by 2030.
Organizations committing to the project will support meal programs that promote healthy lifestyles for millions of children and senior adults by promoting physical activity and improving nutrition.
In supporting the nationwide effort, Valify Solutions Group has teamed with Homeplate Solutions, a pioneer in AI-enabled food management ecosystems. Together, Valify Solutions Group, Homeplate Solutions, Foodbuy, Sysco and r4 will work to maximize the buying power of federal funds that local Community-Based Nutrition Providers receive to serve their communities. Providers such as Meals on Wheels, WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), and schools offering meal programs will benefit from greater affordability and food accessibility—strategies aimed at decreasing food deserts and decreasing inequities that impact vulnerable people.
