Matter

MATTER is on a mission to move people forward by giving them a chance at a healthier life. Internationally, we give hospitals the tools they need to care for the sick and injured in dignified ways and create sustainable farms. Opportunity also reaches people through the MATTER Innovation Hub, a portable learning environment that can implemented anywhere in the world. In the U.S. we activate healthy eating for kids and families through the MATTERbox, a novel solution to food insecurity and nutrition education. MATTERbox snack packs and meal kits were developed to address the challenge that due to obesity, unhealthy eating and physical inactivity, kids today may have a shorter life expectancy than their parents, especially for people living at or below the poverty level. In response to this alarming trend, MATTER partnered with dietitians to craft the MATTERbox. Working with community partners, MATTERbox snack packs and meal kits are distributed to kids and families in need.
