We have established an innovative partnership with Healthcare Without Harm and the Center for Good Food Purchasing through our Real Food Challenge.

Together, we are heading towards collective impact that has the potential to benefit eaters at 10,000 public and private institutions in 23 major cities. We are creating a unified movement of anchor institutions across sectors, through a shared purchasing standard that will raise the bar and unlock our collective power to shift food procurement dollars towards real food. Learn more about Anchors in Action on their website.

Real Food Challenge is an anchor member of the HEAL Food Alliance.

From the vision of 50 diverse grassroots organizations, we operate within the HEAL network to coordinate and align our Real Food efforts. Learn more about HEAL and the other members of the Alliance on their website. 

Supply Change specializes in designing and implementing supply chains that center regional producers while meeting buyers’ complex procurement and planning needs. They help institutions dismantle barriers in their systems so that they may act as responsible anchor partners in their foodsheds. Their procurement pilots become enduring programs that catalyze regionally-scaled food infrastructure. Learn more about Supply Change on their website.
