Life without hunger and diet-related disease. That’s the future we support — and we invite you to join us.
Sifter is the Food as Medicine Platform.

The Health Friendly Food Alliance (HFFA) is a nonprofit organization working to ensure every community has reliable access to nutritious food.

Although many organizations offer food-based financial incentives, few are able to adequately scale their programs because they lack the tools necessary to leverage existing grocery retail infrastructure. HFFA, in partnership with Sifter, is addressing this gap.

Through this partnership, Sifter Solutions provides community-based organizations with a significant discount to its personalized nutrition technology which leverages the healthy assortment and low pricing of SNAP-authorized food retailers.  

Together, we are working at the intersection of health, food, and community impact to ensure food benefit incentives put more food on the table of those in need.

The Need is Urgent

  • 37 million Americans are food and nutrition insecure
  • 148 million Americans live with at least one chronic condition
  • $4.1 trillion in U.S. healthcare costs are tied to chronic disease

Technology That Powers Food Access at Scale

Through HFFA, nonprofit community-based organizations now have access to:

  • Nutrition-integrated websites for food prescriptions, counseling, pickup, and delivery.
  • Eligibility-based shopper tools, such as Sifter’s Shopper Companion, for making healthy choices at the shelf in all food aisles and before checkout.
  • Free white label desktop and mobile app that filters foods based on health needs and personal preferences.
  • Online and instore shopping solutions available at over 30,000 stores nationwide, identifying SNAP-eligible and FDA-aligned healthy products.

All tools meet national nutrition and access standards and support specific needs such as maternal health, GLP-1 compatibility, clean label shopping, and more.

Who Benefits

This program is built for organizations including:

  • Community-Based Organizations (CBOs)
  • Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)
  • Veteran support organizations
  • Healthcare systems and providers
  • Organizations aligned with nutrition security and Food is Medicine initiatives

By joining this effort, you will help expand healthy food access while supporting measurable outcomes across populations in need.
