C2Life Foundation

At C2Life, we believe health starts at the end of our fork. That's why our mission is to end hunger & eliminate chronic disease caused by poor nutrition.  

Since our launch in 2020, we’ve coordinated the distribution of over 85,000 nutritious meals to more than 25 non-profit organizations throughout WNC. Additionally, during the onset of COVID, we donated the use of commercial food packaging equipment to the Burke County Public Schools to assist in providing healthy meals to local students. 

At the height of a global pandemic we could not deny that personal health was paramount & we wanted to affect change through education, nutrition, & community support. In the fall of 2021, we launched THRIVE - Food is Medicine, a 9-week, lifestyle medicine program providing daily education, plant-based nutrition, coaching & group support to those who are ready to make lifestyle changes. Participants learn how lifestyle changes can help prevent, reduce & even reverse risk factors for heart disease, type II diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, obesity & more. Over 100 people have enrolled in the program & have successfully incorporated & sustained healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Our work would not be possible without our volunteers & generous donors including Burke Primary Care, Catholic Charities, Kellex Corporation, Mull Foundation, Rostan Family Foundation, Unifour Foundation & the Western NC Community Foundation.
