Living Beyond Boundaries
Sustained Life's Story
In November 2018, Sustained Life was born out of my personal journey through years of unresolved gastrointestinal issues. After countless doctor visits with no recommendation to see a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I felt compelled to create a nonprofit that champions a more complete approach to healing—one that honors the connection between mind, body, emotion, and mental wellness.
WELLNESS FOR ALL.
POWERED BY COMMUNITY.
​
WHAT WE DO?
​
We provide nutrition education, food access initiatives, and wellness tools that address the physical, emotional, and s roots of health. Our programs are community-centered, culturally relevant, and built to last.
​
OUR CORE VALUES​
​
At Sustained Life, we believe health is not just personal — it is communal and holistic. Our mission is grounded in the conviction that true wellness encompasses the whole person — mind, body, emotions, and mental well-being.
Our core values reflect this deep commitment to building resilient, connected communities:
-
Collective Empowerment: We believe lasting change begins when communities are equipped to lead their own healing journeys—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
-
Inclusive Wellness: Every individual deserves access to nourishing food, credible health education, and supportive resources that foster wholeness across all dimensions of life.
-
Local First: We engage, listen to, and elevate the strengths of the communities we serve—from grassroots leaders to grocery aisles.
-
Sustainable Solidarity: We advocate for lifestyle and environmental choices that protect both our health and the planet—for today and for generations to come.
-
Relational Impact: Real transformation happens in relationship. Through collaboration with partners, volunteers, and neighbors, we build trust and multiply impact, one connection at a time.
